Every pound the Carrabassett Valley Library Garden grows is donated to food pantries in Eustis and Stratton. But donated produce is easy to undercount: a few tomatoes here, a bag of beans there, and uncounted impact is impossible to celebrate or put in a grant report.
A running tally anyone can add to
The garden uses WeAllGarden's harvest tracker: a shared page with a friendly thermometer climbing toward the season's goal, and a per-vegetable breakdown. Volunteers log what they pick: tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, squash, greens, and more, and the total updates live.
“Growing fresh produce using eco-friendly practices, and donating it to food pantries in Eustis and Stratton.”

Why a public tally matters
- ›Grant-ready numbers: "800+ oz donated this season" is exactly what funders want to see.
- ›Volunteer pride: people come back when they can see what their work adds up to.
- ›Shareable: the climbing total makes for easy social posts and newsletter updates.
- ›Custom crops: anything not in the built-in veggie list can be added by name.
It takes seconds to log a harvest and needs no account, so it actually gets used, which is the whole point.
The tracker is one of four WeAllGarden tools the garden runs, see their watering calendar, community fridge log, and garden journal.
