Sprucing Up School Food With Gleaned Produce
Produce gleaned from local farms has been an ingredient staple at CommonWealth Kitchen (CWK) in Dorchester, Massachusetts since its founding days in 2009. A 2018 BioCycle article that featured CWK (scroll to end of post) reported that CWK processed over 2 tons of surplus Massachusetts apples purchased from the Boston Area Gleaners into 400 gallons of applesauce for Boston Children’s Hospital and the Boston Public Schools. That project helped lay the groundwork for CWK to collaborate with local gleaners to supply nutritious food to school districts in its region. Its facility in Dorchester houses a commissary kitchen that offers recipe development, ingredient preparation, cooking, packing and labeling and freezing if needed.
