Hands On Harvests

Teaching people how to grow food and improving access to fresh produce

Home: Welcome

Hands On Harvests' twin missions are to help people grow fresh produce and to reduce food waste by making it easy to donate surplus harvest.

HOH does this by

  • Supporting gardeners of all experience levels wherever they garden by giving them seeds, plants and education,

  • Making it easy to donate to food pantries, and

  • Creating places to grow food.

We [gardeners] have knowledge that can improve our communities exponentially.”

-- horticulturist and author Brie Arthur

Hands On Harvests is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
