Stone by Stone Farm in North Orange lifted everyone’s hearts with generous donations of beautiful flowers as part of the Summer Senior Farmshares.
Cutbacks to HIP reduced our overall number of shares distributed this year. We’re grateful to all who advocated for the program statewide and to local donors who
provided gift cards to help fill some of the gaps.
Volunteers at Quabbin Harvest and our partner programs contribute countless hours every year packing shares and doing many other
essential tasks. Thank you!
