FREE FRESH PRODUCE FOR our neighbors IN NEED
harvesting abundance
Local packing houses generously donate produce to Hidden Harvest when they’re unable to send it to market— often due to overproduction or sudden shifts in market prices. Rather than letting this fresh food go to waste, they call on Hidden Harvest to rescue this beautiful and nutritious produce.
In addition to rescued produce, Hidden Harvest also partners with local SMALL FARMERS by purchasing their seasonal harvests. This not only brings greater variety and nutrition to Hidden Harvest’s own distributions, but also strengthens our agricultural community by supporting small farmers in their growing efforts.
sowing hope
Hidden Harvest brings fresh produce directly to low-income seniors through pop-up markets, called SENIOR MARKETS, at affordable housing sites and senior centers throughout the Coachella Valley. These markets offer seasonal fruits and vegetables in a dignified, accessible setting, always free of charge— helping stretch limited budgets and improve health.
Through strong partnerships with schools, clinics, and other agencies, Hidden Harvest also distributes produce through COMMUNITY PARTNERS. These collaborations ensure that nutritious food reaches all of our neighbors in need.
