Thousands pick up free vegetables on Colo. farm

Thousands pick up free vegetables on Colo. farm: "A farm couple got a huge surprise when they opened their fields to anyone who wanted to pick up free vegetables left over after the harvest - 40,000 people showed up. Joe and Chris Miller's fields were picked so clean Saturday that a second day of gleaning - the ancient practice of picking up leftover food in farm fields - was canceled Sunday. 'Overwhelmed is putting it mildly,' Chris Miller said. 'People obviously need food.'"
