About Boston Area Gleaners

Boston Area Gleaners is a regional food systems organization working at the intersection of farming, food waste, and hunger relief. Our programs which include our Food Access Program, Transportation Services, and the Boston Food Hub, support community and environmental health by reducing wasted food, increasing food access, and promoting farm viability and resilience. Our Food Access Program distributes fresh, healthy food to hunger relief partners that serve children and families across Massachusetts through a variety of activities, including:

- On-farm surplus recovery through post-harvest pickup or volunteer harvest crews who rescue crops left in the field, also known as “gleaning.”

- Wholesale recovery of tractor-trailer loads of fresh produce shipped to a retailer but rejected for cosmetic reasons or technicalities.

- Food safety compliant trucking on behalf of hunger relief agencies.

- Distribution of fresh produce that is grown at Stonefield Farm, our headquarters in Acton, to local hunger relief agencies and food banks.
