Gardeners committed to donating most of the produce grown to those in need!

In May 2009, we reached the milestone of 100,000 pounds of fresh produce donated to Metrocrest Social Services food pantry!

• Adopt a Plot Gardeners grow produce and harvest it fresh for the Metrocrest Social Services food pantry each week.
• Produce is sorted, weighed and recorded at each garden.
• Volunteers from Metrocrest pick up the harvest and take it to the food pantry, where it is distributed to families in need.
• Extra produce is distributed to the Coppell Senior Center.
• Basic Cooking Instructions for most of the vegetables are distributed with the produce at the food pantry.

• Grown, harvested and donated year round in our north Texas climate.
• Produce grown without chemicals purely for sharing food with others.
• High in nutrition with minimal handling or transportation.
• Diverse produce includes heirloom and heritage varieties.
