Guide to Backyard Fruit – Harvesting Options – What to do and who to call if you can’t harvest your fruit.
Progress on the Guide to Backyard Fruit is coming along nicely. I’m currently working on the “Harvesting Options” section. In this chapter, I’d like to list as many options and ideas for homeowners who are unable to harvest their own fruit as possible. The goal is to have fruit being used not wasted.
What ideas would you suggest for this chapter of the Guide?
Here’s what I’ve got so far…
Harvesting Options
If you are unable to harvest your fruit yourself, for whatever reason, here are some options to consider:
- Register your fruit with Fruit Share to come harvest your fruit for you. Fruit Share will send a team of volunteers who will pick your fruit and then split it three ways 1/3 stays with you (if you’d like), 1/3 is split between the volunteers and 1/3 is shared with community food charities.
Spotlight on Teen Challenge
Here’s another worthwhile organization to consider for making food donations.
Teen Challenge
Teen Challenge is a 12-month, faith-based, residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. The program has a strong faith-based approach and offers spiritual, academic and vocational training that helps equip individuals to return to society as responsible citizens.
Teen Challenge uses donated fruit to prepare meals, fill food hampers, share with other organizations, and process for future use.
