Last year, Scott grew Waltham butternut squash, some turnips and cabbage in the 10 acre field. Most of these vegetables were donated to various charities through the Boston Area Farm Gleaning Project whose crews harvested the crops and delivered them to the Salvation Army food pantry and meal program in Waltham, the Red Cross Food Pantry and the Sandra's Lodge shelter in Waltham, and to food pantries in Cambridge. Crews picked approximately 10 boxes of green beans, 12 boxes of cabbage, 6 boxes of turnips, about 12 boxes of sugar pumpkins and 54 boxes of butternut squash, with the squash boxes at 50 to 60 pounds, well over two tons of produce to those in need. In September and October, crews picked 6 boxes of beans, 15 boxes of collard greens and 5 boxes of mustard greens from the raised-bed gardens.
