John Cromwell said he simply made the call and the pieces fell into place to make a large donation to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A simple phone call ended with at least a dozen volunteers in John Cromwell’s fields picking collard greens for a good cause.
“All these leaves are fine. I can harvest all of this again, but there’s not much of a market for them right now so it’s better off in their hands than mine,” he said.
Cromwell, who has been a produce farmer for more than 40 years, said he has an overflow of vegetables and no buyers in immediate sight. He placed a phone call to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, who struck a deal with him.
“They mentioned you know, would I ever have the opportunity for some volunteers to come out and harvest some crops and I said, ‘Sure, why not?'” said Cromwell.
