Rhubarb Blitz – Sunday, August 15th

We are excited to be planning a Rhubarb Blitz for August 15th!

  • Do you still have your rhubarb in your yard?
  • Would you like to be included in our harvest day? 

A small group of volunteers are driving to a number of houses to harvest rhubarb throughout the day. The fruit will be divided, and half will be donated to a food charity (to be determined).

Delivery of the donated rhubarb will be organized through our partnership with Leftovers – Home Harvest. The other half of the rhubarb will be split up among the volunteers.

We are not RHUBARBARIANS! The rhubarb will be harvested in a safe manner to ensure your plants will keep producing (only taking 2/3 of the stalks). 

If you are potentially able to have us harvest your rhubarb for the Blitz, please complete the Rhubarb Blitz Signup Form.

If you would prefer a different harvest date, you can also register your plant through the Leftovers – Home Harvest program.
