The naïve students, having woken up that day under the impression that they would encounter the same landscaping they normally do, would find chaos broken out upon their sheltered lives.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">“Where the hell did all these hipster come from?” I thought as I approached the Free Farm Stand. I had missed the class field trip to the stand a few weeks ago, so in order to make it up and see what all the fuss was about, I went myself. However, having been to the Julian pantry the day before, I was expecting a much different crowd. Instead of the eager older pack I had seen before, disgruntled hipsters starred at me through the lenses of their Ray Bans and creased brows. “Whatever,” I thought, “I guess everbody has a right to dank, fresh, local food.” <o:p></o:p></div><br />

His blissful smile that faces every moment the world throws at him seemed to stare through me, a calm yet somehow outrageously excited, mouth-open grin that’s known just to him. I doubt he remembered who I was, yet he greeted me like an old friend and assigned me to the planter table. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br />

Most of my takers were unsupervised children, who would appear moments later, bashfully behind their parents who would hand me back the baby kale or chard. It was a noble effort, attempting to get people to grow some food themselves, but in a city with limited outdoor space and sunlight, it was futile for many.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The free farm isn’t about giving to the needy or poor, but simply about giving. It’s a beautiful thing to share, but sharing can only be done honestly when everyone is placed on the same plane. Food justice can only be achieved when it is realized that everyone is equally deserving of healthy, fresh, and local food, and the free farm seeks to promote just such a community, where everyone is happy and eager to receive and give to each other without regard of their place or status in society. <o:p></o:p></div><!--EndFragment-->Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142011441993047388.post-24930465732209048952011-11-30T19:50:00.000-08:002011-11-30T19:50:27.470-08:00The Julian Pantry<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Revision>0</o:Revision> <o:TotalTime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:Pages>1</o:Pages> <o:Words>291</o:Words> <o:Characters>1659</o:Characters> <o:Company>Stanford</o:Company> <o:Lines>13</o:Lines> <o:Paragraphs>3</o:Paragraphs> <o:CharactersWithSpaces>1947</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:Version>14.0</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>JA</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> <w:UseFELayout/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Stanford campus is exploding with delicious fruit once again; the trick is just to know where to look. Observing the many fruitless (hehe) trees around campus on my way to the years first Stanford Gleaning Club (SGC) gathering, I found myself skeptical. I wondered, how many people would we feed off of redwood bark and palm fronds?, as Stanford doesn’t seem to have much more to offer than these at first glance. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bMikHIWWFNT0t4v6HnqBChBUq5BzW9h8OvT-PXZ765Szm1RKB68xEKECzVSNHfvUmj7ulz0hewB0JnHLM6f8oj5xTdh8NHCiJBtfnDzcj7mqfW8sn3zg6Q4rbT4GP_oUWsD6xwnC94c/s1600/IMG_8204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0bMikHIWWFNT0t4v6HnqBChBUq5BzW9h8OvT-PXZ765Szm1RKB68xEKECzVSNHfvUmj7ulz0hewB0JnHLM6f8oj5xTdh8NHCiJBtfnDzcj7mqfW8sn3zg6Q4rbT4GP_oUWsD6xwnC94c/s320/IMG_8204.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">I arrived at Tresider a few minutes early, not sure exactly where the gleaners would gather. Soon it became clear however when an arm full of red fruit pickers appeared bouncing five feet above someone approaching me. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">“You look like a gleaner,” I said. He was. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKE0E7zihvzzc3RWEyIsQnXmWbrURK5NyunfwvmXhV-iG_FuXoMz4NfWp0K13334bYC193KRc889a1C70jq-GfwIwZQ7MJqfuZmB1RWAO24db3l5vo0cE1Hq6LPQ7OEdsba5hbDuXy4A/s1600/IMG_8258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKE0E7zihvzzc3RWEyIsQnXmWbrURK5NyunfwvmXhV-iG_FuXoMz4NfWp0K13334bYC193KRc889a1C70jq-GfwIwZQ7MJqfuZmB1RWAO24db3l5vo0cE1Hq6LPQ7OEdsba5hbDuXy4A/s320/IMG_8258.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Soon the two of us grew into a crowd, one that was significantly larger than I had expected, and in fact, I was later told it was the SGC’s largest turn out to date. Those who approached were a varied crowd: many freshmen excited to join and participate in their first club on campus, some experienced looking folk who brought with them reusable canvas sacks and baskets, and then the four coordinators, Gabi ….. There were even those who had nothing to do with Stanford helping. A couple from San Francisco had been biking past and stopped to investigate the crowd when we prompted them to join us. After a brief explanation, they postponed whatever it was they had been intending to do and happily followed behind the gleaner brigade. I asked them if we were interfering with their original plans and they replied, “Well how could we be offered an experience like this and just deny it?”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIIIHLxc2FPYjv3WnSNebWlWCD9DZxPZRKD13aBJYY2h48iwM97wvtotRax6JIwomko_rlGISy-zGDLSoG-PNcNvfTZuRxCWLsHsqe_cErvKEXhv-Xo_NtHCxDSZnhPdB6tBxie6MevE/s1600/IMG_8278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIIIHLxc2FPYjv3WnSNebWlWCD9DZxPZRKD13aBJYY2h48iwM97wvtotRax6JIwomko_rlGISy-zGDLSoG-PNcNvfTZuRxCWLsHsqe_cErvKEXhv-Xo_NtHCxDSZnhPdB6tBxie6MevE/s320/IMG_8278.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"> One of SGC’s major appeals for participation is the glow that radiates from you during and after the experience. I believe that for anyone, something simply aligns in us amidst the synergy of partaking in an activity that is anonymously beneficial for others while also inherently enjoyable and and in complete conjunction with the Earth. An apple never tasted so sweet than from a SGC’s fruit picker. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> After a brief intro we split off in groups to separate part of the campus. My group’s first stop was an apple tree on Campus Drive across from the Munger residences. My previous impression of a fruitless campus was forgotten quickly as the tree was sagged with plumply ripened green apples. We filled a few sacks quickly, and in leaving the canvas bags weighed a few down, bulging curiously in our cheery parade between fruiting flora.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWCtIc1FskTGgtvtI5uYTvKV0uCdipgp8f7KYcUFFe_dDNm8Cr4Gz6Hbyv60jbtELE0NbGA5cZA_wddp4OCYyPtUxCjS6YNo9_jHusgDdnwDDB3Wzm7yFeYYxRn2rElnOFV3NJmsygixM/s1600/IMG_8262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWCtIc1FskTGgtvtI5uYTvKV0uCdipgp8f7KYcUFFe_dDNm8Cr4Gz6Hbyv60jbtELE0NbGA5cZA_wddp4OCYyPtUxCjS6YNo9_jHusgDdnwDDB3Wzm7yFeYYxRn2rElnOFV3NJmsygixM/s320/IMG_8262.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"> Later, we learned that these sacks contributed to the gleans final conjoined weigh in of 30.5 lbs. of apples. Not only that, we also pulled in 2.5 lbs. of pomegranates, 7.5 lbs. of lemons, 15 lbs. of quince, and 15 lbs. of pineapple guava. This knowledge was extremely satisfying in the wake of our work, as the time seemed to fly by as it does during any moments spent well enjoyed. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-WMka_GVp5BrJma7lnw85_9yxujqdbUZ5fWucLZuIQg7qmlQAFMmpuwzqGzVQJQuytMWwLY-Jd_jNp-0Iwbdn6xolmDj9f9WqlnymRN8IqXOrmH4SpqQK3XKlcIr-hD5PP_ug1VS8as/s1600/IMG_8277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-WMka_GVp5BrJma7lnw85_9yxujqdbUZ5fWucLZuIQg7qmlQAFMmpuwzqGzVQJQuytMWwLY-Jd_jNp-0Iwbdn6xolmDj9f9WqlnymRN8IqXOrmH4SpqQK3XKlcIr-hD5PP_ug1VS8as/s320/IMG_8277.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Along with the major fruit, we also gleaned a good amount of smaller, more fragile fruit that weren’t accounted for, most of which may or may not have been entirely consumed by us in the process. Figs were a rewarding discovery, splitting with ripeness on there branches from their bulbous gory innards. We also gleaned what we could from a mysterious tree that has always fascinated me. It grows between the bikeway that links Meyer Library’s to Stern and Wilbur halls, and it produces a glowing red fruit the size and shape of a Ping-Pong ball, only covered in miniscule ineffectual spikes. If only I’d only known these little balls of scrumptiousness were edible, and delicious, during freshman year when I had passed them every morning on the way to class. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpNrMozWgBO_IS4mG47XYGg5dn2zIriPEZfbI9xyfGASxEfTHouAiPora1ommbDNoZTfjXTFo3OSJq_8U8M3tizg7Wq36UXO3eWZ-afexRLvIjIl3rDoYVihS0W5kTAuU1G7FS5jWuiU/s1600/IMG_8233.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpNrMozWgBO_IS4mG47XYGg5dn2zIriPEZfbI9xyfGASxEfTHouAiPora1ommbDNoZTfjXTFo3OSJq_8U8M3tizg7Wq36UXO3eWZ-afexRLvIjIl3rDoYVihS0W5kTAuU1G7FS5jWuiU/s320/IMG_8233.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">We finished off the days work at the Down With Gravity club meeting going on in from of Tresider, whose activities we complimented with new sets of juggling balls, fruit!

<br />
I just wanted to pop in and say a brief Hello to you all! I know that last week was our last Glean on campus :(, but gleaning has certainly left its impact on me. This past memorial day weekend I was in San Diego with my boyfriend, and I couldn't help but notice ALL of the gorgeous lemon trees EVERYWHERE! ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS GLEAN THEM! He was a bit shocked at my enthusiasm to say the least.<br />
<br />
But really! San Deigo has FRUIT ONTOP OF FRUIT! Just thought I'd let you all know the impact that Glean has had on me :) I hope everyone is enjoying spring and studying hard for finals! Hopefully we can get in one last glean depending on the ripeness of the fruit on the trees!<br />
<br />
Although the weather is a bit gloomy today, I hope everyone is finding some source of sunshine and bliss!<br />
<br />

And a visit to Julian PantryGreetings!<br />
<br />
Last Tuesday, the first sunny day after about a week of dreary clouds and rain, the Glean team and I headed out towards the faculty residences to pick some fruit that was hanging over their fences. Still waiting on responses from the flyers, we decided to make due with picking the fruit that hung over their fences! (a little skeptical looking from inside the fence I can imagine, some random unseen force shaking your tree can't look like the norm on a Tuesday morn). But the gleaners were successful! We ended up picking a whooooolllle bunch of gorgeous lemons and oranges! I can only imagine the harvest we will reap once we can get access to the <i>whole </i>tree! :)<br />

Our efforts turned out to be much appreciated by one spectator, (I'm assuming a professor living in one of the houses near by) who stopped her car and gave us thanks for gleaning the trees! She was so thrilled that we were picking the fruit and told us that she would love for us to come back again and continue to glean the area! Woohoo!<br />

That Tuesday morning ended up being quite special. I broke my first sweat of the day at 10:30 and couldn't have been happier about it :) (I'm an aggressive gleaner...)<br />
<br />
Other exciting updates!<br />
<br />
On Saturday, the students in Page's Foods and Community class, myself included, headed up to the city to check out the Julian Pantry. The pantry provides fresh fruit and vegetables to 200 individuals each Saturday morning from 10:00 to noon. All who come are welcome to receive food.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two full cars of students headed out for the city at 9:00 am to arrive at the Pantry an hour later. Upon arrival we were assigned a station to work. I worked with a young girl named Patricia who lived down the street. Later I found out that she was 18 and had just graduated high school. She works at the pantry every weekend. I had a great time joking around with her as we put hand-fulls of beans into bags, one after another. There wasn't much time to interact with the people in line because it moved <i>that</i> quickly. Just a friendly "hello" and "your welcome," but it was still a beautifully simple exchange. Most of the people in line spoke very little English, but their eyes and smiles expressed all the gratitude in the world.<br />

Time seemed to zoom by, and we all wrapped up in about an hour and a half with a decent amount of produce to spare. It was certainly a different experience than at the Free Food Stand, but still rewarding and very efficient. I have a great deal of respect for the people running Julian Pantry because of what they manage to accomplish each weekend :)<br />

I continue to feel such gratitude when surrounded by people who are actively trying to make a difference, however small it may seem, in the lives of those less fortunate. Without seeking anything in return; these people are true heros.<br />

<br />
Happy Spring! As Tree says, "Spring is the time of growth, renewal, and regeneration - manifesting our ideas into action." I hope everyone is seeking healthy transformation in this beautiful season!<br />
<br />
This week, Glean did something a bit different than usual. Since the fruit was not quite ripe enough to pick, the gleaners headed out to the faculty residencies and put flyers in the mailboxes of the faculty, asking permission to pick fruit from the trees on their property!<br />
<br />
The flyers said, "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">please contact us if you want us to come pick your fruit trees </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">for free and donate the produce to our needy neighbors in san francisco!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Hopefully we will be hearing back SOON from some of the faculty who are amped on the idea :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">P.S. Last week's clementine pick ended up weighing in at 90 lbs! WooHooo, Glean Team! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">The Free Food Farm is busy as can be lately! Last Wednesday volunteers went to work in the greenhouse planting seeds. In addition, the new "office" space is now completely finished with the intention of housing the entire seed collection. Yippee! The farm is also getting to work and putting more plants in the ground such as pollinators, culinary herbs, flowers, hops, and kiwi plants, and the plants in the greenhouse seem to be absolutely thriving in the warm environment! </span><br />

Pancho and Mike climbed the pole to hang the banner, its words depicting the inspiring message, "The Earth is but One country & all living beings its citizens." </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">The Free Food Stand proved to be yet again a heart-warming experience this past Sunday. Tree recounts on his blog at freefarmstand.org that even more newcomers were making their way to the stand asking questions and leaving with gratitude and inspiration. New friends brought with them an abundance of picked lemons and oranges to give away. There was a great deal of fresh produce this week that had been collected as leftovers from the San Fran market. What a blessing it is that we can take that perfectly delicious fruit that may have been thrown out if not sold, and give it away to those in need! :) There is great hope that the produce will continue to be plentiful at the stand!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">I hope everyone is continuing to seek growth and positive influences in their lives! Root down into the earth and reach up to the sky! </span><br />

And A Bliss-Filled Mother's DayLast Thursday the glean team took care of business! It was a gloriously sunny morning and the gang and I ventured out to Hammerskjold to find a beautifully lush tree <i>full </i>of clementines! The number of little orange orbs must have reached easily into the hundreds. What made our job a teensy bit difficult, however, was the fact that the tree was so incredibly dense with leaves! We had to work together, one person holding branches back with the picker, while the other went to town on the beautiful little bundles of clementines. These clementines were <i>perfect</i>! I kid you not, they were just the right blend of sour and sweet (we had to indulge in a couple of course). And after a solid 45 minutes of pickin' away, we had almost 4 huge canvas totes <i>full </i>to the brim with gorgeous little clementines. What a fantastic way to start a Thursday! I was beyond pleased that I could go outside and hang out with great people while picking fruit as my pre-midterm activity. Just being outside, at one with the nature around me, proved to be the utmost therapeutic and beneficial thing before sitting in a stuffy classroom for an hour. How blessed I am!<br />

Today, I was inspired to rise early and seize the day, honoring Mothers around the world, including Mama Earth, and hang out at the Free Farm Stand with a couple kids in my Foods and Community class. I had heard that we would be planting trees for Mother's Day, and I could not think of anything else I would want to do then honor the most important and life-giving mother of all, our earth! So, since I could not be with my own Mama, I decided that being outside in the open-air and vibrant city would be a treat! Also, I had heard that the Free Farm Stand was set up every Sunday in the grounds of a playground, so I would be able to watch the little babies with their families!

I ended up driving up to the city with Susannah, Brittany, and Tim, all members of Page's class. We got into a little blue van and hit the road with our totes full of clementines. Upon arriving at around noon, I saw two long tables set up, one piled high with fresh produce of all kinds, mostly greens, and the other covered<i> </i>with <i>gorgeous</i> loaves of bread. Oh man it was a sight to be seen! So much bread, all different types, and lucky individuals would be getting it for free! Next to the bountiful bread lay delicious spreads of homemade humus, tangy salsas (also homemade), chips, carrots, celery, diced and seasonded cucumbers, vegan chocolate chip banana bread (my personal favorite), and a huge bowl of rice and veggies made on the <i>spot </i>from a fantastic guy Michael (who also made the humus). Y.U.M! It was amazing! I spent the next couple hours handing out breads to smiling faces. I was able to use my Spanish a couple of times, yippeee! and I felt a surge of overflowing happiness just <i>giving </i>with no expectation of receiving anything tangible back.<br />

Most everyone was extremely grateful and visibly content with their food, some even returning to the table for seconds. The amount of respectful everyone showed to one another throughout the whole process was remarkable and uplifting to witness. There were no issues or discrepancies in the line, no rudeness or abrasiveness when asking for food, instead there was a gentle and appreciative vibe filling the place. As I felt the sun on my cheeks and heard the strumming of a guitar by one of the older volunteers at the stand, I knew that this was the definition of <i>bliss, </i>at least to me. I am so very happy to have spent Mother's Day with kind friends and complete strangers, all getting along with each other in such a simple yet beautifully rich way.<br />

<br />
It is easy to be swept away into the frivolity that surrounds us each day, to only think about the <i>me </i>rather than the <i>we</i>. But once we realize that life is so much more fulfilling once hedonistic ways are relinquished and compassion takes root deep within our souls, then your sleepy and vapid existence is awakened to a beautiful and full one. Dare to broaden your horizons. Make a friend, a family member, a stranger's road a little easier to travel on. I encourage you to find peace in simplicity and the generous act of giving!<br />
<br />
Love & Light,<br />

<br />
Lots of exciting things to report! To start... I made my first EVER trip to the Free Food Farm on April 20th! It was an amazing experience. Because it was a Wednesday and not the typical volunteer-filled Saturday, I was one of only a few volunteers. I am actually quite grateful that things panned out the way they did because I was able to meet some of the consistent hands at the farm as well as engage in a two hour long spanish conversation with a fellow volunteer named Jessica while we planted rows of beans together! Cool, right?<br />
<br />
Seeing the farm for the first time was very exciting for me because up to that point I had only heard about it and seen a few pictures in class (I take Page's Earth System class, which I <i>highly</i> recommend), and to finally be able to see it proved to be a very moving experience. The Farm is truly a hidden gem. It resides tucked away amongst the dilapidated streets of the Tenderloin; however, it was clear to me that this farm had truly made an impact on the area surrounding it. Right away I noticed a peaceful vibration that filled the place. Painted signs with greetings and lovely sayings were displayed everywhere. "All you need is love," "Compassion," and "Respect our earth," were only a few beautiful messages gracing the sheds and murals in brightly colored paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkqGOgQOSJIlNbZkEYsBJcBtb43zC5t1qbaGww8A8sLu3_944c0PX5pOuNCFkV7leCV1HcHbfgXVwuQt8tr3LmtsT-3dlISf1EhwJ-H_UXlI9R4AwPr1Rj3T6kQPN0Z7DmrMKJ_3k6wVY/s1600/IMG_2713.JPG.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkqGOgQOSJIlNbZkEYsBJcBtb43zC5t1qbaGww8A8sLu3_944c0PX5pOuNCFkV7leCV1HcHbfgXVwuQt8tr3LmtsT-3dlISf1EhwJ-H_UXlI9R4AwPr1Rj3T6kQPN0Z7DmrMKJ_3k6wVY/s1600/IMG_2713.JPG.jpeg" /></a></div><br />
My attention then focused on the colorful variety of plants growing in lush rows next to one another. I later was informed just <i>how </i>many different vegetables and fruits are being harvested and was astounded by the number. From strawberries to avocados to potatoes, the farm integrates an enormous variety of fruits and veggies, and I couldn't believe that they all grew in the same location with such great success!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmjrTzjIT0Lp3gekUvaayLQ-MwU_nEH85t722MCXo9s8Inoe7I6kklTDAMVlWRZ8h3yhxqCqJPzMypW5Eg6O7rO6OqBDaln64NbgZ7lTGifYmkE_uuSWGRHID0HNJekzoTKAZj93hsZM/s1600/DSC03518.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmjrTzjIT0Lp3gekUvaayLQ-MwU_nEH85t722MCXo9s8Inoe7I6kklTDAMVlWRZ8h3yhxqCqJPzMypW5Eg6O7rO6OqBDaln64NbgZ7lTGifYmkE_uuSWGRHID0HNJekzoTKAZj93hsZM/s1600/DSC03518.JPG" /></a></div><br />
After meeting Tree, the guy essentially <i>running </i>the entire operation, and getting a tour of the beautiful growing projects on the farm, I was put to work. As I mentioned earlier, I ended up planting several rows of beans with a woman named Jessica who was visiting San Francisco for the first time from Mexico. She was essentially related to Pancho, an extremely friendly, consistent presence at the farm, and had decided to check it out. I ended up having a great time getting to know her <i>and </i>practice my spanish for a couple hours :) I had not planted anything for as long as I can recall, perhaps I did some type of gardening in preschool or kindergarden, and it felt <i>so </i>good to do it! Just knowing that those little seeds would eventually be enjoyed, in another more edible form, by individuals who truly needed them gave me an amazing feeling.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's about doing the little things. Planting rows of seeds is no grueling labor nor is it rocket-science, but it is a task of love. To give something to this earth and have it eventually given to provide us food is magnificent. And too often, we forget where our food <i>actually</i> comes from because it is packaged and sealed at the store. But to get back to the basics and remember firsthand how we obtain our food is a humbling experience. I believe it is so important that we revisit the basics and achieve a greater connection with the earth that sustains us life each day, and why not get our hands a little dirty in the process?<br />

April 7-15thHello, friends! Much has happened in the past month with the Stanford Gleaners! The harvests are looking PLENTIFUL this spring, and Glean is doing something about it!<br />
<br />
Firstly, I'd like to recognize the efforts that Glean has made in some of their collections thus far. On April 7-8, the Gleaners harvested 93 lbs of oranges, lemons, and grapefruits from the FloMo courtyard and from the inner quad citrus grove behind building 200. These fruits were then delivered that next Saturday, April 9th, as a class to the Free Food Farm in San Fran. Two bus loads of Stanford students from Page's Foods and Community class showed up at the farm that Saturday eager and willing to get their hands dirty. A total of 29 volunteers showed up that Saturday and participated in various projects around the farm from painting one of the tool sheds and installing windows to harvesting various vegetables like chard, favas, lettuce, a few red peppers and some tree collards. It is clear that the volunteers felt inspired when they were joined by other volunteers who regularly take food from the Free Food Farm Stand. To them, it was heart-warming to see that these people were not just taking food, but helping to grow it. Sophie so eloquently quoted "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life." <br />

<br />
On April 14-15th, the Gleaners harvested a whopping 194 lbs of oranges from the orange tree next to Mars, on the Quad (not too shabby!). The oranges were then delivered the next Sunday, April 17th, to the Free Farm Stand by Stanford students in Page's Foods and Community class. The farm was described as "heavy on good vibes." The table was graced with the fruit that the Stanford students brought as well as plenty of greens as well as some bread with delicious spreads including tofu pate, hummus, and citrus jam. The Stanford students all reported an amazing experience and expressed their desires to return back to the Stand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeHmqv5rD8smn1iOsWhZdmhbZb1dioKoM67sPJZtbOESCLZJvZN_LU9ZkWUQDrJXsXoyjaJObYquutht8FxKO2REwBdyBYUhfBG3YGEYIuQc-2QwfYNXS3isRFDV0d5R9Q8XdatoMwvFs/s1600/SAM_1861-Medium-600x450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeHmqv5rD8smn1iOsWhZdmhbZb1dioKoM67sPJZtbOESCLZJvZN_LU9ZkWUQDrJXsXoyjaJObYquutht8FxKO2REwBdyBYUhfBG3YGEYIuQc-2QwfYNXS3isRFDV0d5R9Q8XdatoMwvFs/s320/SAM_1861-Medium-600x450.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"></span>It is important that the Gleaners continue to feel pride in the harvesting they do on the stanford campus, the planting they do at the Free Food Farm, and the giving they do at the Free Farm Stand. It is much more than collecting fruit and passing it out to people, rather it is making connections through a COMMUNITY effort to yield from the earth's bounty and give it back to those in need with hopes of inspiring a feeling of love and gratitude in the process.<br />

It’s just a block off of the row, yet this beautiful neighborhood feels like a different world. We spent a good chunk of time driving from house to house, keeping our eyes peeled for fruit trees, of which there were many. When we spotted a tree, be it lemon, grape, pomegranate or one of many other varieties, Susannah would slow the monolithic vehicle to five and we would jump out, run to the door, and drop off a gleaning flyer (okay, we actually stopped the car, after all The Stanford Gleaning Project is filled with caring, committed people dedicated to safety). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">About thirty minutes in, we pulled up to a big grey house at the end of a cul-de-sac. One of the gleaners, Tim, ran to the door to drop off a flyer. We waited for several minutes, but there was no sign of Tim. Fearing for his safety (as I said, dedication to safety!), we got out of our white tank to see what was going on. Suddenly Tim came running around the corner bearing good news: turns out that the elderly man at the door had a beautiful persimmon tree in the back garden that he wanted us to harvest right then. We went to grab our pickers when the man’s wife came out, wondering what exactly five students, a white suburban and two bright orange pickers were doing outside her house. After we explained what was going on, her face immediately softened. She explained that she and her husband were too old to pick their fruit and they had been waiting years for a group like us to come along. The persimmons were incredible beautiful and we harvested two full bags, one of which we left for our new 80-year old friends. We hope for many more such experiences!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">After hitting several more streets, the day ended with the discovery of a large amount of “trash” on the curb. After talking with the kind gentleman who was putting out his unwanted items, we salvaged several planter boxes, bricks for a garden, and a lovely rolling wicker basket perfect for fruit transportation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Though not a typical harvest, the day was rewarding in so many ways. We ventured into oft-forgotten part of the Stanford community and were rewarded a bag or persimmons, new friends, and, with luck, a new partnership for The Stanford Gleaning Project. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div></span>Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142011441993047388.post-6257950219540142112010-05-25T13:52:00.000-07:002010-05-25T13:52:43.531-07:00Helping OutThis past weekend on Saturday (5/22), three of the gleaners and two interested gleaner parents made the trek up to San Francisco to work at the Julian Food Pantry. There was more food than the gleaners have ever seen, including an incredible box of corn that allowed for eight ears to go to each individual. We brought approximately 80lbs of lemons and 5lbs of rosemary. Our suspicions were confirmed that the Asian population was none too excited about the herb, but the Hispanic, African-American and White populations were very appreciative. It was reversed the time we brought bok choy, which most non-Asian people looked at as if it were poison. Something interesting we saw while working in the back was that there is a culture of trading food in the alley behind the church. It allows for people to have preferences, in a way a fair food bank does not. The food bank provides equity but it's nice that people can have more choice through this informal system.<br />
<br />
After the pantry, we went to the free farm where the plants and the space have both increased in beauty and vitality. The space has enough human touch to comfort and the produce looks healthy and delicious. It's always nice to see progress, when that progress is for good.Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142011441993047388.post-1914127288948883822010-05-13T17:48:00.000-07:002010-05-13T17:48:41.874-07:00New Locations and New FriendsAs we approached <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Kairos</span> House we saw four people sitting under the lemon tree we were supposed to be gleaning. I was hoping it wasn't a rebirth of my freshman year, during which <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Kairos</span> residents would sit on their lawn and heckle passers-by (what would they say to us, with our silly pickers??). It was not the heckle team, however, it was NEW GLEANERS, freshman from Page's class. The new comers gleaned the fist half of the harvest, while the veterans got to enjoy the beautiful afternoon. When the easy lemons were gone the vets jumped in and pulled down the rest of the 125lbs of fruit!<br />
<br />
We will continue to jump around campus in the weeks to come, gleaning from several smaller sites than the larger groves we have taken advantage of in the beginning of the quarter.

Central KitchenWhat do you do when a well-established not profit wants to throw money at you to start something that will benefit others? You discuss the logistics of running that project, and wonder whether Stanford is really the right fit...and perhaps jump for philanthropic joy.<br />
<br />
Two top executives from the <a href="http://www.dccentralkitchen.org/">D.C. Central Kitchen</a> presented to a lunch group at the Haas Center for Public Service on Friday April, 30th. They introduced two projects. The first, the central kitchen, uses food that would have been wasted and turns out 4,500 meals per week in the D.C. area. In addition, they provide job training and employment for disenfranchised individuals, thus feeding the hungry and eliminating some of that need in the process.<br />
<br />
The second project, and the one that they wanted Stanford to adopt, is their <a href="http://www.campuskitchens.org/national/">campus kitchens</a> model. A similar model of potential food waste instead being prepared provided to needy individuals, would be used. They were adamant that the Stanford name would benefit their organization enough to warrant a fully funded program. Currently, they have 26 participating schools, none of which are in California.<br />
<br />
Stanford Glean is definitely interested in the program, there are many logistical problems, relating to Stanford's location and unique access to kitchens. There would certainly have to be extensive coordination if the project were going to use all of the resources Stanford has to give. Pick-ups would need to be done from dining services and the many co-ops and self-ops on campus. Given that there are many kitchens on campus, with super easy student access, perhaps a rotating schedule would ensure that the burden was spread evenly. In addition, it would give many people an easy chance to participate in the program and could recruit followers.<br />
<br />
The gleaning project would have to decide if the fruits of its labors would continue to support the Free Farm and Julian pantry or if the material would be used in the campus kitchen project (alternately, of course, they could remain entirely separate). There is something to be said for people having responsibility for themselves and feeling good about that. The free farm stand and Julian allow for people in part to decide how they will prepare food and have some autonomy related to that preparation. In the case of the farm, there is a lot of learning in the community about farming and eating healthily. Although for those who are homeless, a hot meal might be more beneficial, the services we are currently providing are different and of value.<br />
<br />
Perhaps by increasing our presence on campus we could contribute to both.<br />
<br />
The last concern is who this kitchen project would feed. That would take more and complete research about feeding programs in the area, which has not yet been completed.<br />
<br />

The going was a little slow outside of the post office, as many of the easily accessible oranges had been picked in previous gleans. With a little perseverance, however, we gleaned 114lbs of fruit!<div><br />
</div><div>Music made a second appearance and the octo-juicer made a first. We weren't lying when we labeled these oranges juicing oranges. We used casualties of gravity to make some delicious juice, such that nothing gleaned or knocked off went to waste. </div><div><br />
</div><div>In total 7 gleaners attended and enjoyed an hour of fun. On route back to housing, we found a new tree outside of the Haas Center for Public Service and topped off an already weighty backpack.<br />

The gleaners set out to the Stanford Community farm, where all winter their harvest had been steadily growing. Steadily is a bit of an understatement actually. Last time the gleaners had looked the fava beans were decidedly growing, at this point they had turned into a massive forest. The mission was to clear the plot.<div><br /></div><div>The co-founder and the redhead went to work! The first obstacle was the black moving insect matter at the tops of some of the plants. Judging by the ladybugs (and confirmed later by our advisors) they were aphids and we discarded the plants that had been overrun by them (organic farming, c'est la vie). Luckily most of the fava crop was untouched and we collected buckets of bean pods, some measuring between 8 and 10 inches. We were clearing the plots, so we pulled the plants up by their roots, or in some cases realized shovels would be necessary to extract the stump like stalks from the ground. One weird observation, the fava stalks that had grown sideways, through the other stalks, produced by far the largest bean pods. </div><div><br /></div><div>The biggest surprise of the day was the perfect kale hidden among the fava stalks. We ended up with a couple of bunches, which I'm sure will make someone at the free farm very happy. </div><div><br /></div><div>The two gleaners finished for the day, leaving a small chunk of forest for gleaner three to delight in upon her arrival. We are so excited for spring crop planting. We hope to put in tomatoes and beans!</div>Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142011441993047388.post-52926092310093856572010-04-26T17:31:00.000-07:002010-04-26T20:46:31.955-07:00Admit Weekend GleaningThe gleaning faithful - the creators and the redhead - were joined by several students in front of the Post Office last Thursday 4/22. We had new comers and old friends. Many peopled honed their skills on our bright orange pickers (which look like over-grown entirely metal lacrosse sticks) while others reached up into the trees with eager hands. <div><br /></div><div>We were still waiting for the pickers as hoards of prospective freshmen streamed through White Plaza. Luckily, Susannah met the group just before they disappeared up the row and was able to give a ringing endorsement of the Gleaning Project. Although I'm sure they won't forget us, I do wonder if they were aware that she was welcoming them, rather than attacking them with the pickers =) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ProFros</span> can be a little jumpy.</div><div><br /></div><div>The gleaning was enhanced by an array of upbeat songs, and there was much rejoicing. Many people stopped by to see what we were doing and got a chance to try fruit that had split open. My favorite visitor was a Mom from Carmel, Indiana. She came up, wondering what we were doing, wearing her Stanford parent pin (her son will be part of the class of 2014). Beyond her questions though, I think what she really wanted was to taste an orange that she had seen attached to a tree moments before. I thought back to my first time in California wandering around the State capitol building in Sacramento, and how determined my Mother and I were to taste an orange from one of the trees. It was so novel and unexpected to see them growing like they were, instead of in grocery crates. </div><div><br /></div><div>Altogether a fantastic glean. We shall have to wait for an official weight, but my gut tells me upwards of 80lbs is a good guess.</div>Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142011441993047388.post-64311507688765887602010-04-26T16:57:00.000-07:002010-04-26T17:22:55.916-07:00A History Lesson<p class="MsoNormal">The Stanford Gleaning Project was founded in the spring of 2009 by Stanford University freshmen, Caitlin and Susannah. The concept for the project came from a class taught by Page Chamberlain and Jim Sweeney called “Reducing your Carbon Footprint.” The Gleaners would collect produce on Stanford campus and donate to The Julian Food Pantry and The Free Farm Stand, both of San Francisco.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">There is wealth of produce growing on Stanford campus – oranges, grapefruits, kumquats, lemons, limes, mandarins, Buddha’s hands, tangerines, loquats, avocados, and plums – which goes un-harvested and relatively unnoticed by throngs of students each year. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The first task of the Gleaning Project was to identify the trees on campus which produced fruit. Susannah and Caitlin created a nifty GPS map of the trees available online: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100770360687284815776.00046891bcd22ce6279ed&z=15">http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100770360687284815776.00046891bcd22ce6279ed&z=15</a>. Along with charting student areas of campus, the gleaners ventured into the faculty neighborhood and recorded trees which peeked over fences and spilled fruit on lawns and walkways.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Using the correct harvesting equipment, fruit pickers, the Stanford Gleaning Project is able to harvest and donate much of the fruit on campus. The faculty neighborhood has been flyered, and produce collected from generous faculty members. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">In addition, Stanford has a fantastic community farm, on which the Gleaning Project two plots. Seasonal produce is planted year round and harvested. All harvests are donated. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Along with harvesting efforts, the gleaners work at the Julian Food Pantry on Saturdays.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>Stanford Gleaning Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00179039947512448019noreply@blogger.com0
