harvested

Brought in produce

Harvested is the past tense of harvest—to gather crops or other resources when they're ready.

Farmers harvest wheat, fishermen harvest oysters, foresters harvest timber.

The word extends to collecting anything that has matured or accumulated: We harvested rainwater from the roof.

In darker contexts, organs are harvested from donors, and data is harvested from users.
