Culinary Arts visited Wellsmere Farm Friday September 12th to fight waste and experience gleaning. Students coordinated with the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link’s Glean Team to collect 1018 pounds of tomatoes and 64 pounds of cabbage in 45 minutes! A sample of the organizations that received deliveries from this gleaning include the Young at Heart Senior Center in Poultney, the Castleton Cares food shelf, BROC in Rutland, the Open Door Mission in Rutland, the Community Cupboard in Rutland, and the Rutland County Parent Child Center in Rutland and Brandon. Congratulations to all involved for making this wonderful service learning opportunity available.
