Hunger-Free Minnesota has launched “Good to Grow,” a program to encourage gardeners to share their extra produce and to provide hungry Minnesotans with more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Gardeners commit to sharing some of their produce at the end of harvest season and in turn will receive all the tips and resources necessary to grow top-of-the-line crops. The first 200 committed gardeners will even receive a reusable cotton tote bag to carry their fresh produce and gardening tools.

No donation is too small or too large, said Lucas. “We want to make sure those extra tomatoes, squash and carrots never go to waste.
