    The Carrots 2 Carrots Story

    The seeds of Carrots 2 Carrots were planted in the aftermath of the devastating 2023 floods that ravaged our region. Local farmers, including ourselves, faced unprecedented crop losses.

    Inspired by a desire to help, Liz Denny, an advocate for food security, envisioned a solution. Inspired by our annual Holiday Vegetable Boxes, a program offering local, affordable produce during the festive season, Liz saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between struggling farmers and families in need. Her idea was simple yet profound: create a donation-based program to purchase surplus produce from local farms, then distribute it to local survival centers.

    Liz's passion and determination grew and soon she see set her sights on other opportunities to give back. Her vision resonated deeply with us, and we were thrilled to be the first farm to partner with Carrots 2 Carrots. Her love of Hatfield and local farms led her to join the Bardwell Farm team as a valued member of our farmstand crew.

    Together, we've been able to make a difference in the lives of many people. Carrots 2 Carrots is more than just a program; it's a testament to the power of one persons idea, community, and the importance of supporting local farmers and those less fortunate.

    We're incredibly proud to be a part of this initiative and look forward to expanding its reach in the very near future.

    What is gleaning?

    carrot-blog

    Gleaning /ɡlēn/
    verb
    1. : to gather grain or other produce left by reapers. 2. : to gather information or material bit by bit.

    In the context of food security, gleaning is the practice of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after the main harvest. Traditionally, this was done by hand, with people gathering the remaining produce that wasn't profitable for farmers to harvest.

    Gleaning helps to:
    • Reduce food waste: By recovering crops that would otherwise be discarded.
    • Increase food access: Providing fresh produce to those in need, particularly in communities with limited access to grocery stores.
    • Support local communities: Gleaning often involves volunteers from the community, creating opportunities for people to give back and strengthen their connection to the food system.
    • Complement existing food assistance programs: Gleaning can supplement food banks, soup kitchens, and other organizations working to address hunger.
    ​
    By rescuing surplus crops, gleaning helps to ensure that everyone has access to the fresh, healthy food they deserve.
