Private back yard with 1 each of apples and pears. Pears are very ripe at this point and delicious. Apples not sprayed and may have some bugs. This harvest might not be suitable for food bank material, but great for home cooking and preserving.

You will need a pole picker! 

Pole pickers are located at 417 NE 175th Ave. Walk up on the R side of the driveway past the compost bins and find the pickers by the side of the house. Do take an extension pole also, as some trees are deceptively taller than they seem.

Private Trees housekeeping- if you have the capacity to do so, take away and compost any fallen fruit you find, or ask the owner if they have a compost pile where they would like you to deposit it. It’s a small way of thanking the owners for donating their fruit. Also ask if they would like a portion of the fruit set aside for them.

Ask the food bank for a donation receipt, and email a copy to tina@urbanabundance.org, so we can keep track of your awesomeness! 

Also please also email or text Tina to let her know if you have gleaned all the produce, so we can add or cancel additional events at this site.

Big thanks for your commitment- we so appreciate you!!!!!
