Gleaning at Balsam Farm

We do this act of tzedakah in fulfillment of the call in the Torah:

“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the corner of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not pick your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger.” Leviticus 19:9-11.

We’ll harvest a surplus of food and donate it all to local Food Pantries.
