Our season ends for West Milford Ample Harvest 2017

The season began with all the fluffy leafy greens (chard, lettuce, kale) and progressed to the boom of green beans, peppers, tomatoes and even fresh corn. Our offerings were supplemented by the West Milford Farmer's Market with eggs, cucumber and more leafy greens--thank you to all who contributed.

As we close the season, our spotlight deserves attention to the volunteers who make Ample Harvest AMPLE.      

• Anne continues her generous gift of sharing the land

• Madeline, Rev Janet, Helena and Roberta organize our local food pantries, providing the critical need of food to our community

• Russ keeps our garden activities well organized

• Triscia coordinates our West Milford Farmer's Market collections each week

• John, Norma, Cheryl, Dave, Wendy, Janelle, Gary G continue as the anchors for the weekly Ample Harvest team

• Wendy and Dave keep Sustainable West Milford a thriving organization making a positive difference in our community

• Finally, and not least, the gardeners at Apple Acres and the vendors at the West Milford Farmer's Market share their bounty of fresh produce.

THANK YOU to all!

West Milford Ample Harvest Coordinator

Last week, generous donations of radish, beets, beans, peas, turnips, garlic, lettuce, kale, carrots, chard, and more we were donated to Holy Faith Lutheran. Thank you to all who offered their abundance of vegetables at the community gardens and the Farmers Market, as well as to all the helping hands who helped harvest.

Bring your garden's abundance (or make a purchase at Market) to the cooler at the Market tent each week, and Ample Harvest will donate it to a local pantry in need. 

This week's donation will go to St. Joseph's.

Note that produce must be fresh and suitable for eating.
We are proud that Ample Harvest started here in 2009. We continue to reach our local food pantries with fresh produce by allowing gardener's such as you to donate rather than let your precious plants go to waste.
