We are a food pantry that serves 85-100 families per month in Edgerton, WI. Our food is pantry is open 5 days per week. We love having fresh produce as a healthy option for our guests.
Please contact us before coming so we can make sure there are volunteers or staff available to receive the food. We have a donation dock on the side of the building and a small deck in back so we can set up where to drop off too.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
