Northwest Ohio Farmer donates 180,000 lbs. of carrots to the hungry.

Local volunteers from county Farm Bureaus, Chambers of Commerce, home-school students, Soil and Water Conservation District personnel and others have come together to help feed the hungry.

Volunteers are mechanically harvesting and hand packaging more than 180,000 pounds of fresh carrots from an unharvested 10-acre field owned by Ohio carrot farmer Tom O'Neill. O'Neill is a carrot farmer for Campbell's Soups. With a good crop this year, there was excess left over, so O'Neill decided to put the carrots to good use.

The carrots will be donated to 12 food banks around Ohio that are affiliated with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks.

Location: Swanton, Ohio
