Food is harvested, row covers are removed to be cleaned and stored for the winter, and beds are cleaned-up from weeds - ready for a winter crop.

Fall squash is harvested at an abundant rate and the cabbages are growing safely under netting (to protect from pests). We also have pepper plants are the trellis is home to green beans and long squash.

At the Rows, we harvested over 700 pounds of produce in one weekend!

July is a busy month here in the Rows. Some weeks there is too much rain and some weeks there is a drought - we have to be prepared for everything! We try to prevent the plants from being waterlogged or molding - or have to race over to water to keep the plants from drying out.

It’s April and we are laying row covers and weed block fabric to prepare for the seedlings that will be planted soon! There are row covers on greens so that we can extend the garden season and harvest sooner!

It’s full harvest season here! Click to read more and see our crops.

July weather as been extreme but we have still been able to harvest over 1,000 pounds of food this month!

Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Onion, Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Kale are growing well. We look forward to starting harvesting a few of these late June.

It was a month for the machines, prepping beds, and starting with some cool season crops!

Harvesting and celebrating this month!

We continued harvesting and donating.

Our new Potato Lifter helped us harvest 804 pounds of Potatoes in 3 hours! This same task took 2-3 days of manual digging each season.

June has been the start of our harvest and we are excited to share!

Turner Construction volunteered time and donated $2,000 to help the Rows build a vertical garden.

We are installing fence to cover two acres to prevent pest (deer, rabbits, etc…) and expand our growing space. Materials arrived and we just started the install.

Our cover crop is growing nicely and we are starting our seed selection.

As of August 15, 2021, here at Rows for the Hungry, we have been able to grow and donate 5,200 pounds of food to the MCFOODS food bank, Elijah’s Promise Community Kitchen, and various other places.

Feeding Middlesex County financially supports organizations that feed the hungry.

They raise funds to purchase food and equipment to assist qualifying agencies in procuring, storing, preserving and transporting food and other necessary items to their food insecure neighbors, through MCFOODS, the county food bank.
