Community

We wholeheartedly believe in fostering the community and partnerships that surround us. Driven by the importance of family and desire to bless others with our God-given resources, we are committed to supporting our partners and employees. We are grateful for our partnerships with the industry and non-profit foundations that allow us to invest in the well-being and future our agricultural community.

Gleaning Festival

Wild Goose Farms organizes a gleaning festival at the end of every blueberry season to support 4Roots, Free.D.O.M. Clinic USA, and RCMA.

Gleaning is the practice of collection leftover crops from fields after the main harvest. Rooted in Leviticus 19:9-10, this biblical principle reflects our commitment to the community around us.

4Roots

4Roots is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a sustainable food system by connecting farmers, educators, and the community to promote regenerative agriculture, healthy eating, and food security.

Through initiatives like farm-to-school programs and community partnerships, they work to improve access to nutritious food and educate future generations about sustainable farming.
