Food Day is an annual, national event that features prominent food activists, united by a vision of food that is healthy, affordable and produced with care. We can celebrate our food system when it works and fix it when it’s broken. Thousands of events (small and large scale) take place across the country.

We will celebrate Food Day with a CSA gleaning. Pick up a map at the CSA Washstand to find crops and fields you can harvest plants that still are OK to eat but the CSA is not using anymore. These crops may include kale, potatoes, greens, carrots and squash.
