Into the Roc: Flower City Pickers

Join Into the ROC while we volunteer with the Flower City Pickers. Before we volunteer, there will be an opportunity to stroll among the vendors at the Public Market to see what makes this space so unique.

The Flower City Pickers volunteers come to the Rochester Public Market year-round to collect surplus produce donated by generous vendors. They sort and weigh the produce, and deliver it to community organizations as well as farmers for livestock feed or compost! These industrious volunteers collect over a ton of produce every week (and sometimes over two tons).

Please prepare to bring your own funds if you wish to purchase anything at the market. Vans will leave the Sentinel Statue promptly at 11:30 a.m.

If you are feeling ill, or have been around someone who is ill, please stay home and stay safe.
