Backyard Fruit Gleaning 

The Backyard Bounty gleaning program is a people-powered program that reduces food waste in Kern County.  If you have excess fruit or produce on your property that you are willing to donate to the Golden Empire Gleaners, please bring your donation to

1326 30th Street, Unit A

Bakersfield, CA

​

If you need help harvesting your excess fruit,

OR if you would like to be part of our Fruit Harvesting Team,

please contact

katherinemcdaris@gmail.com

We will be sure to distribute your produce to those in need

right here in our community.

​

Thank you!

​

Please take a moment to fill out this form.

Please give as much detail as possible regarding your property and produce.  This could include:  

Is the produce currently ripe?  Is the produce close to spoiling (already falling on the ground)?  Is the produce high enough up where ladders are required?  Any extra information helps!
