A wonderful idea

Dunno if you can see that but it says "Village Harvest" a wonderful concept to get fresh fruit into the hands of people that may not be able to afford these perishable items while also helping bay area residents. This organization started when one woman was showing a group of children how to preseve fruits by making jams and jellies. They went and harvested some fruit and went through the process. Local residents took note of these children harvesting fruit from neighboring yards and asked that they harvest their yards too.

There are many many homes in the bay area with fruit trees. Most times, the fruit rots on the trees as one tree produces too much fruit for one family to eat. Other times the residents are physically unable due to age or injury to keep harvesting their trees.

That's where village harvest comes in. You call them up and next thing you know...people arrive at your house ready to pick fruit and deliver to select drop off locations so disadvantaged bay area residents can have get their share of fresh produce. This group has a larger mission to share the history of fruit preservation and to create sustainable living in urban areas. Regardless of any reason, I just think it's cool.
