Miller Farms Gleaning

Yeah so I haven't had as much time to tweak the blog layout as I would have liked but hope to get it all fixed up soon. In the meantime, check out this article from the Times Call about gleaning at Miller Farms this Saturday:

"Miller Farms will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday to visitors who want to dig and keep leftover produce from the Platteville farm.

Farm spokesman Dave Patterson said this year there aren’t as many leftover vegetables as there were during a similar event a year ago because of summertime hail damage, but items such as carrots and Brussels sprouts are still good.

Patterson said that in 2008, gleaners left with about 600,000 pounds of food.

Patterson said people should bring their own shovels, bags and boxes.

Miller Farms is located east of Longmont on Colo. Highway 66."
