We had, don't know if they still are in operation, Gleaners who went
out into the fields after mechanical harvesters had cleaned out what
they could from the fields, and they would get all the produce that
the machinery had missed and bring it in for the food banks and soup
kitchens. I'll have to try to find them this year and see if they
want anything that might grow after some are pruned to correct what
someone had done with them... sheared them like a hedge! LOL

Try searching on "Second Harvest". I think that's the name of the org. in the
northeast, anyway.
