My parents spent a lifetime barely making ends meet as organic vegetable farmers, and will be living the rest of their retirement in what amounts to basic poverty. Anything that increased their revenue on their hard work is a good thing. Asking them to give away otherwise sellable produce is simply asking for someone else to perform charity on your behalf. And if you work in tech you would be a (relatively) rich person asking some of the poorest to do so - which I find both immoral and despicable - since this attitude is so prevalent in these circles. The moral thing to do if you care, is donate to the food bank or otherwise directly support charity - not asking someone else to do it on your behalf.
