Food For Thought


If your extra garden produce is tossed into a garbage dump, it produces methane which is a global warming gas that has 20 times the impact of carbon dioxide.

If you can not share your extra crops with a pantry, compost it instead of trashing it.

AmpleHarvest.org needs your help.
