Plant A Row For the Hungry
Farmers and members of the Sussex County Board of Agriculture have a long tradition of participating in programs that help feed those in need in our communities. Their contributions are helping to bring fresh foods to many tables. But the need for assistance is increasing.
Local food pantries, soup kitchens and community groups report an steady increase in the number of families needing assistance. While the problems are complex, there is a simple way to help address the issue of hunger in our communities:
PLANT A ROW for the hungry is a national initiative started by the Garden Writer's Association. The community based, grassroots campaign encourages everyone to plant just one extra row which is dedicated for sharing with those in need. Over the years, tons of fresh produce has been distributed directly to those in need. The SCBOA would like to invite you to participate in our local efforts to address hunger in our community-one row at a time.
Pledging is easy.
Share your pledge to participate in Plant A Row right here on the SCBOA website. Complete and submit the participation pledge card below. You can also make your participation pledge during a visit to the Sussex County Farmer's Market or other participating farm locations.

Here you'll find suggested organizations where you can bring your PLANT A ROW donation. This list represents some of the organizations working to address the food needs within the Sussex County NJ community.
When scheduling your harvest donation, please call ahead to make drop off arrangements. Hours of operation may vary.
We also encourage you to connect with other local organizations, churches and groups who may be aware of families in need of fresh garden produce. If you are aware of an organization that is able to accept fresh food donations, please share the information with us.
