Filed Under : Fruit Share by FS Coordinator
Oct.17,2012After one last apple pick last week, I think it’s finally safe to say that our fruit harvesting season has come to an end. And what a season its been. We are so proud of how far we’ve come together over the last few years!

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate our successes at our season wrap up party this Sunday, October 21. It’s from 1-3 pm at Art City (616 Broadway).

Woohoo! This is amazing.
Congratulations Getty & to the rest of the Fruit Share team!
Organizing 118 harvests amongst 240 volunteers and 293 home owners is an INCREDIBLE amount of work!!!
I hope your celebration on the weekend was fantastic.
Here in Ottawa we’ve been hit hard by the Nut lobby. They’ve convinced us to extend our season to collect & share nuts so many of our volunteers are still out there picking. It’ll be another month or so before our final numbers for the year are in.
Thanks Jay! We’re feeling pretty proud! Good luck with the Nut harvest!
I grew up in a small town in Oregon and had fruit trees on our land and our own garden every year, but I have lived in the desert for 20 years now. Stumbling on to your site is refreshing.
