Join the Marin Organic Glean Team as we harvests extra produce from fields of MO farms for the Organic School Lunch and Gleaning Programs, enabling kids throughout Marin to eat local organic foods at school. Come meet your local farmers. Get your hands dirty and join in the fun with the local community.

Gleaned food is produce which would otherwise be left in the fields because it doesn't meet the strict aesthetic requirements of restaurants and retail markets. This can account for up to 20% of what is grown, and throughout the year may include potatoes, squashes, spinach, leeks, beets, carrots, arugula, lettuces, meats, eggs, yogurt, ice cream and more! The Glean visits a Marin Organic farm to pick produce for the participating schools, camps, and underserved communities throughout Marin, offsetting their costs and therefore allowing them to serve local and organic options while staying within their limited budgets.
