Each growing season, more than 50 volunteers join UlsterCorps\u2019 \u201cGlean Team\u201d to harvest excess produce from farms and private gardens and distribute it to people in need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, the program gleaned 68,000 pounds from 17 farms, and delivered it to 32 food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens in Ulster County, according to Ulster Corps Director Beth McLendon, who supervises the Farm to Food Pantry program. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Farm Hub and the Farm to Food Pantry program share a dedication to addressing food insecurity in the Hudson Valley. \u201cOne in seven Americans is food insecure, yet 30 to 40 percent of food that\u2019s grown in America is wasted\u2014and seven percent of that goes unharvested,\u201d says McLendon. \u201cThere\u2019s a wonderful connection here: Instead of having food waste, the blueberries are going to folks who don&#8217;t have easy access to fresh berries.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott agrees. \u201cThe Farm Hub is here to help build a sustainable and just food system in the Hudson Valley,\u201d he says. \u201cWe see this project as one more way to do that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_6486-R.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4542\" class=\"wp-image-4542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_6486-R.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_6486-R-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_6486-R-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/blueberry-cobbler.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4520\" class=\"wp-image-4520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/blueberry-cobbler.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/blueberry-cobbler-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/blueberry-cobbler-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fullcrew.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4519\" class=\"wp-image-4519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fullcrew.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fullcrew-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fullcrew-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>By early August, 30 volunteers had gleaned blueberries at the Farm Hub, according to McLendon. The volunteers included members of UlsterCorps Glean Team, the Bruderhof community, and members of the Rochester Food Pantry; farmer Billiam Van Roestenberg and his crew from Liberty View Farm in New Paltz; Farm to Food Pantry program cofounders Lynda Wells and Fabia Wargin; and Susan Hereth, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingstonymcafarmproject.org\/\">YMCA Farm Project\u2019s <\/a>education director. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the Farm Hub\u2019s first gleaning partnership. It\u2019s also the first time that Farm to Food Pantry volunteers have had the opportunity to glean blueberries. \u201cWe\u2019ve done scallions, strawberries, apples, and other produce, but never blueberries,\u201d says McLendon. \u201cYou have to be strong for blueberries, to be able to stay on your knees.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott and McLendon agree that the collaboration has been a success for both organizations. \u201cIt\u2019s a symbiotic relationship\u2014UlsterCorps is helping us, and we\u2019re providing something needed by the community,\u201d says Scott. \u201cI feel optimistic about future projects.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blueberries have been \u201cincredibly well received\u201d this summer, notes McLendon, including when they were served baked in a cobbler at the third annual YMCA Farm Project Farm to Fork dinner. The YMCA Farm Project engages youth in sustainable food production at the YMCA\u2019s urban farm in Midtown Kingston and offers affordable fresh produce to the local community. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, says McLendon, Ulster County food pantries can\u2019t get enough of the blueberries. \u201cPeople call out \u2018More blueberries!\u2019 as soon as we walk in the door,\u201d she says. \u201cThen they ask, \u2018Can I take two?\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>YMCA Farm Project photos courtesy of Julia Farr.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer, the Farm Hub teamed up with the&nbsp;UlsterCorps Farm to Food Pantry Program volunteers to provide freshly picked blueberries to Hudson Valley residents in need.&nbsp; \u201cWe didn\u2019t want our surplus of blueberries to go to waste because, first of all, they\u2019re delicious and nutritious,\u201d says Jeff Scott, the Farm Hub\u2019s marketing and logistics coordinator.
