CHARLESTON — On Wednesday, Gov. Tomblin recognized the West Virginia Division of Correction’s Harvest Now donation program, a sustainable fresh produce effort, for donating more than 46,000 pounds of fresh produce to local food banks and charitable organizations across West Virginia. “The Harvest Now program fits with the goals of my justice reinvestment initiative and helps provide inmates with the skills they need to be successful when they return to our communities,” Gov. Tomblin said. “Not only does tending and harvesting a garden provide inmates with valuable skills including managing tasks and accomplishing long-term goals, but the work these men and women are doing serves West Virginia’s communities in need. West Virginia is blessed with an array of natural resources, and I’m grateful the hard work of so many has cultivated our state’s rich soil into a plentiful harvest.” The Harvest Now program provides opportunities for corrections inmates to work with the West Virginia University Extension Service and the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to plow, plant and maintain facility-wide garden plots. Fresh produce grown on-site provides facility kitchens with fresh options to supplement daily meals, and additional produce supports the Mountaineer Food Bank and similar charitable organizations across the state, serving hundreds of West Virginia families.
