Distribution

Ways in which to distribute produce: Work in = Produce out Open Sharing  (not always equitable to those who sweat for

the garden's success)

What to do with surplus: Give to professors in courses which you are at risk of failing Group canning sessions Donate to low-income farmers markets Give directly to low-income community members through

an operation such as New Roots' Fresh Stops
