We may not be as busy as the honeybees and native pollinators, but we've definitely started our season!

Hi, my name's Eli! As of April 1st I began my new role as SETP's Executive Director & Gleaning Coordinator! I grew up on Green Bluff, and I bring deep roots in agriculture to my work with SETP. My passion for field-ripe fruit bursting with flavor is well-aligned with our mission at SETP. I envision a future where everyone in our community has access to the very best fruits and vegetables that our local food system has to offer. I worked as a commercial farm partner with SETP from 2020-2023 and joined SETP as our first Executive Director & Gleaning Coordinator in April of 2024.

We've been out in the community! It was great to meet some new gleaners at the Earth Day Fair at SLD, the Arbor Day Event at Finch Arboretum, and the Brush on the Bluff event at Polly Judd Park!

Farmers Market Gleans have gotten off to a great start, and we are hoping to add the Emerson Garfield Market to our list of weekly market gleans!

We can't wait for the launch of our Glean for Good Program this season! Stay tuned to these emails or our social media pages for updates - rhubarb and strawberry gleans coming soon!
