Blueberry Harvesting

The Tampa Platoon will be heading out to the farm to glean (harvest) BLUEBERRIES to donate to our food pantry partners. All tasks will be able to be done using social distancing. We recommend you bring and wear a personal mask. If you have not completed the online waiver, please do so here. Anyone under 18 needs to have a parent or guardian sign it on their behalf. WAIVER LINK: https://endhunger.org/volunteer-waiver/ Do NOT bring any pets! No pets are allowed on property, farm can lose their license if pets of any kind are seen on the property. Note: There are limited restrooms available at this location. Please use the restroom before you arrive. You may be taken into the field in the back of a pickup truck so please plan accordingly. If you need to cancel for any reason, please call and let me know so I can cancel the gleaning if necessary. If you are lost or running late please call me at 863-224-0403
