MEMBERS ONLY: Tomato Glean

This glean is for 2026 ETGC MEMBERS ONLY. You must bring your 2026 membership card to the glean and present it at the pre-glean briefing. Please also note that this glean is scheduled for ONLY 2 hours -- 7:30 - 9:30 a.m. CENTRAL TIME.

We will be picking tomatoes from the ground. There are plenty of beautiful tomatoes lying in the fields that need to be gathered. We may NOT pick tomatoes from the plants. Please make sure everyone in your family understands this before entering the field. Vance and Kim went to look at the field today and there are miles of good tomatoes sitting on the ground.

WHAT TO BRING

• Buckets or containers for picking and taking your tomatoes home. You may use ETGC buckets for picking; however, these buckets cannot go home with you.

• Plenty of water to stay hydrated

• Lunch and snacks

• Hat

• Sunscreen

• Comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes appropriate for field work

• Anything else you normally need for a morning in the field

It will be an early start, but August heat comes quickly. Come prepared and stay hydrated.

Please remember that we are guests on the farmer’s property. Follow all instructions given by the farmer and our field supervisors.

One bucket for you. One bucket for the farmer. Let’s get those tomatoes off the ground and put them to good use!
