Martha’s Vineyard residents in need are eating more locally-raised food than ever before, thanks to a network of Island farms, volunteers and social service agencies in the Island Grown Gleaning program.
Last week, Island Grown Initiative’s mobile market began its fourth consecutive summer, distributing affordable produce and fresh eggs to communities around the Island.
One of the busiest caterers on Martha’s Vineyard this summer is likely to be Island Grown Initiative, which is gearing up to provide about 2,500 packed lunches a week for school-age children.
