Farmers are lifelines for communities and essential environmental stewards. Their hard work makes a positive impact on communities, the environment and the economy.
When farmers like you are faced with unsold surplus food, they need a common-sense solution to support them getting it out of their fields or out of storage — and onto plates. That’s where we come in.
Whether you run a small or medium-sized farm or an industrial-scale operation, Second Harvest will manage all your donation logistics for free, return your bins and trays, and provide a donation receipt for eligible donations. Farmers can also claim a tax credit on the fair market value of their donated agricultural products.
Through the From the Farm program, Second Harvest helps farmers do what they do best — feed people.

From coast to coast to coast, Second Harvest and our network of donors, non-profits and volunteers are making a difference in the lives of people facing food insecurity and protecting the planet we call home.
Thank you, Second Harvest, and a huge thank you to the farmers who grew and shared these delicious apples with us here in Northwest B.C. [We] were able to disburse the apples throughout the northwest ... Each and every community expressed their heartfelt thanks as many indicated that fresh produce was so expensive their families were doing without.
Knowing these potatoes are reaching people with limited access to fresh food is way more gratifying than dumping them.
Second Harvest has been an invaluable relationship to be able to divert all the surplus that would've otherwise been composed or sent for animal feed.
