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.
