Hidden Harvest is a nonprofit organization that gleans or rescues produce from Coachella Valley fields and packing houses. After harvest is complete, local farmers leave millions of dollars worth of first-rate produce behind in the fields due to market fluctuations and other factors.
Hidden Harvest takes advantage of this bounty and delivers the healthy produce free-of-charge to agencies that serve the hungry and needy
Hidden Harvest's mission is twofold - 1) to hire low income farmworkers at $10 per hour (above prevailing wage) to 2) to"rescue" or glean fresh, healthy and locally grown food from farmers' fields and area packing houses to feed the poor and hungry.
