Before he passed away in 2019, Brian Glaspell cultivated this garden for many years, donating the majority of the produce to the PT Food Bank, usually about 5,000 pounds per year. In 2021, Jeanie (his wife) was very happy to discover the Food Bank Growers organization and host the return of the garden's ability to provide for the food bank. Now, Aaron (Brian's son), Brianna and their three girls live at the Glaspell Farm and carry this tradition on.
