food grows on trees

Here are a few photos from my job, from what I do…

We hope to arrive at a property before all the fruit has fallen like in this photo above. If it has, the food on the ground goes to feed local livestock…This is how we want the trees to look, full of beautiful, ripe fruit…

ready for us to harvest and pick.

Once harvested, the food is then donated to our Food Bank. In our community,  tens of thousands of people (44,000 to be exact) are “food insecure” and need help getting food on the table.

Thank you to the farmers who allow us into their fields, for the homeowners who share their harvest, for the community that shows up to glean. Together we harvest, gather, deliver and donate to share the abundance that is growing in our county.
