Looking out our rear window at 6 a.m. and seeing the cherry orchard being sprayed. Some of that spray lands on us also.
A farmer in the flooded city of Grand Forks, BC donated three truck loads of what the market considers undersized potatoes to the gleaners. His comment was that, "he would rather feed people than livestock". Each bag holds a thousand pounds.
These great white potatoes only needed some sprouts and spots removed.
Meeting and visiting with new people as you work is great.
Annette getting to know Mia, who was a former YWAM participant from Madagascar.
Greg, our Gleaners manager loading the new dehydrator named "Ruth".
Twenty one racks with over 20 trays each fill the dryer.
In the past the Gleaners could depend on processing frozen product to help us fill in during limited fresh produce, but since Sobeys purchase of Safeway/Lucerne this has ended. They are processing the last of their brussel sprouts from the freezer.
Interesting facts in the coffee room.
A beautiful rainbow on our final evening in Oliver. It felt like a sign of blessing for this place.
