Farmers Markets near Stow, MA

Acton

This listing is Boston Area Gleaners, a nonprofit that harvests surplus crops left in the field after a farm's commercial pick is done and routes the produce to families facing food insecurity around Boston. Its food hub function handles the sorting, cold storage, and transport that turns gleaned produce into usable donations rather than compost. The organization estimates roughly a third of Massachusetts households deal with food insecurity, which is the problem the gleaning model is built to chip away at.
