The Coachella Valley is the fifth largest agricultural producer in the United States. Much of the country eats food grown from this soil. But for a variety of reasons, not every crop grown here is used. Rows and rows of perfectly good vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower are plowed over every year and completely wasted. Christy Porter, who runs Hidden Harvest, has spent more than a decade combating this problem. We talk to her about gleaning (the process of saving usable crops from being plowed under), her organization, and the world of Coachella Valley farming.
