Member of Maine Gleaning Network

​

The Lincoln County Gleaners had their first official glean in 2017 at the Morning Dew Farm in Newcastle, and during their inaugural year were able to distribute 1,500 pounds of produce. They have since grown into a much larger group, with dedicated volunteers on both the gleaning and food distribution side.  The Lincoln County Gleaners supply food for six share tables across Lincoln County in the winter, and 13 share tables in the summer, with many pop-up food distribution events in-between. In 2022, volunteers alongside Healthy Lincoln County staff gleaned and distributed over 25,000 pounds of produce to food pantries, share tables, and schools in the area. The gleaning program is housed at Healthy Lincoln County (HLC), and managed by HLC employees Jess Breithaupt and Larissa Hannan.
