his year the Florence Food Share garden looks to surpass last year’s
10,000-pound record harvest for distribution to local families in need.
Executive Director Norma Barton said, “We (recently) harvested 67
pounds of organic snap peas and they went directly to our clients with-
in minutes of harvesting.” This year Food Share’s Master Gardener Bart Mealer is
growing three types of peppers and several tomato varieties in the two green-
houses and broccoli, potatoes, herbs, Swiss chard, beets, carrots, summer
squash, winter squash, pole beans and onions in the outdoor raised beds. “This
is literally farm to table,” Mealer said.
