[BCFSN] gleaning for food in Fraser Valley

[Ava Shannon]

Hello Dawn,
I run a gleaning program in Langley: http://www.leps.bc.ca/action/volunteer/community-harvest/
Volunteers get to share a third of each harvest between them. We are currently doing apples and pears, and I have a harvest 3 or 4 times each week. If this might interest you, please let me know and I’ll send more information and add you to my contact list.

Regards,

Ava Shannon

Subject: [BCFSN] gleaning for food in Fraser Valley

Hi All,

With all of the major amounts of organizing I have been doing on the Wild Salmon Caravan and the 10th Anniversary of the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty, I have been unable to plant and care for a garden this summer. The situation has left me and my mutual air friends food insecure, so I am looking to learn about and connect with farms, orchards or berry picking patches any where in Coastal or Interior Salish territory (Vancouver, Lower Mainland, Kamloops, Shuswap Lakes)  where I can glean some food that would otherwise be wasted.


I have come to learn that 40% of the world's food is thrown away so I hope to put it to good use, and also share with others in my neighbourhood in need.

Please send names, addresses, or phone numbers I can contact if you are aware of any farmers, fishers, or hunters willing to share.

In gratitude,

Dawn Morrison,
