Seed2Need

Seed2Need is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to reducing hunger in our community by growing fresh fruits and vegetables and donating it to local food pantries in Bernalillo and Sandoval Counties in New Mexico. Annually, Seed2Need donates thousands of pounds of produce, typically ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 pounds.

Seed2Need currently grows approximately 1.5 acres of vegetables and maintains two orchards containing over 160 fruit trees. All are located in Corrales, New Mexico on land donated by local property owners. Crops include tomatoes, green chile, cucumbers, squash, bell peppers and melons and the Seed2Need orchards include several varieties of apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries, and apricots. Seed2Need volunteers and community partners also glean fruit from other orchards in Corrales and the surrounding area.

Volunteers are with us every step of the way assisting with pruning fruit trees, preparing the gardens, planting, maintaining the gardens, harvesting and breaking down the gardens at the end of the season.
