Super sunny Sunday vibes for our glean this morning. Whilst it was challenging due to the mud and scarcity of produce this goes to prove that even the smallest team can make a difference. Winter this year has been a soggy mess. With few field gleans in January it felt great to be out in the sunshine this morning with our small team@of volunteers . Huge thanks to @RLWhear&son for supplying the surplus.#gleaning #rainbows #sundayvibes #farming #cornwallliving

Whilst we are enveloped in wet n windy weather we look ahead to spring and summer fun! This year, with your help we’d love to create a fundraising family fun day.

DM please if you can contribute in any way. #funday #summer2026 #cornishvenues #communitysupport #gleaning

Gleaning Cornwall saved local charities £182.000 in 2025. We did this by harvesting local surplus produce donated by kind farmers and distributing it to local food based charities. It’s easy really, but we need your help. Do you love Cornwall, discovering new places, being outdoors, meeting new people and making friends? Then this could be just the volunteering opportunity for you. DM for more information or contact through our website, link in bio #gleaning# #volunteer #community #helpingothers thegreatoutdoors

What a great start to the year! Today I met Wendy at @exeterfoodaction to deliver surplus coffee beans kindly donated by @origincoffeeroasters . What a great resource for community warm spaces to be able to offer good quality and incredibly tasty coffee to those who are struggling to pay bills and heating. We now distribute coffee to 3 counties. #origincoffeeroasters #exeterfoodaction #gleaning #surplus#warmspaces

As we reach the final weeks Gleaning of 2025 down here in Cornwall, we find ourselves harvesting delicious cauliflowers from fields with an iconic view of St Michaels Mount. We would like to take this opportunity to offer our deepest gratitude to those farmers and producers who kindly offer up surplus for gathering and distributing. We are all cogs in the wheel that ensures fresh nutritious produce is available to those in need within this community. Acknowledging our hardworking and dedicated farmers and growers, keeping the country alive with fresh nutritious produce. We salute you, and thank you for all you do. Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas #farming #cornishfarmers #cornwallfood #growershelpinggrowers #community #christmascountdown #helpingothers #feedingpeople #gleaning #grattitudealways

At this time of year, should you be in a position to kindly gift Gleaning Cornwall a few quid, please know that every £1 you give, saves local food charities feeding those in need £7! Alongside this, offering them nutritious, fresh produce, which is often a struggle to source. Every week our dedicated volunteers go out, in all weathers to harvest crops that would otherwise be wasted, and distributing them to those who need it the most within our community. We need your support to pay our small team of coordinators, for transport costs, insurance and equipment. Times are tough we know but please share. We invite you to watch a great short film, put together by Annie Bungeroth linked to our Crowdfunder, explaining why there is so much surplus and outgraded produce and more. NOTE – If you know of anyone struggling for food, there is a map on our website siting places to get help. Thank you, and Season Greetings to One and All.

Oops, who didn’t see the wellie warning! We had lots of fun pulling these beauties out of the sticky mud on our glean on Tuesday. With thanks to #Riviera.produce for this surplus produce.

We were very grateful to glean 26crates of sweet and crunchy Jonagold apples from a private orchard last week. Mr Toad popped out to say hello from his spot below the tree, nestled amongst the windfalls…. He loves apples too!#apples#jonagold #orchards #cornwallfood #gleaningforgood #foodpovertyawareness #volunteer

Gleaning volunteers were thanked for their hard work at the Gleaning Cornwall party last Saturday. The day started with a Radio Cornwall interview with Holly White law, founder and manager of Gleaning Cornwall, praising the volunteer team that Gleans, drives and delivers fresh produce around Cornwall every week. At Roche Victory Hall volunteers watched the big screen premiere of the film made by Annie about the work of Gleaning Cornwall , then volunteers tucked in to homemade curries and sweet delights, followed by a quiz and then a session of laughter yoga! As laughter reverberated round the room volunteers were thanked for all their hard work in gleaning 66 tonnes of produce to over 60 recipient organisations in the last year. If you want to join us for laughter and good company on the field, or you can volunteer to help to drive/ deliver or in any other way then please visit our website (link in biog) for contact details.#laughteristhebestmedicine #grattitudeattitude #thanks #blessed #volunteer#gleaning#freshveggies #freshfruit #surplusfood #foodpoverty

What an exciting evening at the Redruth Charity Trust annual awards last night. Sharing the room with incredible people , hearing heart warming stories, beautiful singing voices, and from community groups, giving a real insight to the community cohesion in Redruth. Redruth Charity Trust work tirelessly attracting local sponsors to support organisations in Redruth. It was great to see Some familiar faces and representatives from organisations we support with fresh produce. Gleaning Cornwall were very grateful to receive £200 which will supply new flasks, these are used in the fields to provide well deserved hot refreshments to our dedicated volunteers after gleans. The money will also go towards providing PPE cut proof gloves to keep our ever growing team of volunteers safe. So a massive thank you again for a wonderful night.#redruthcharitytrust #regenerativefoodandfarming #communitysupport #redruth #support

This has been a bumper week for us at Gleaning Cornwall. Collaborating with local producers including Riviera Produce Ltd, Agricola Growers, and Plants for a future, along side some lovely local orchard owners, this week we have gleaned over 4 tonnes of fruit and vegetables! This has been harvested and distributed by our dedicated teams of volunteers to every corner of Cornwall, the moorland communities of Devon and to Plymouth where organisations are helping support those in food poverty. We are incredibly grateful to have such a supportive network.#community #vegtables #foodpovertyawareness #cornwallliving #foodforthought #nutritionforlife #localproduce #cornishproduce #foodpoverty #communitymatters

What a wonderful way to spend a Monday morning. With blue skies and occasional showers we were treated to the delights of a 30year old orchard full of Cornish variety apples. And wow, there some beauties. Its not all mud and brassicas, especially at the moment whilst we are lucky enough to be invited to some stunning Cornish gardens. With much gratitude to the team at #tresillianhouse not only for the apples but for the peak into the walled garden, shared with such a passion, knowledge and commitment.#applesofinstagram #orchards #community #foodpovertyawareness #nutrition #volunteeringopportunities #teamwork #gleaning #cornwalllife
