We pick over a ton of apples, pears and plums from local back gardens and give most to Foodbanks and community groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do we do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n * to reduce waste<\/p>\n\n\n\n * to raise awareness that food doesn’t have to come from a supermarket<\/p>\n\n\n\n * to get to know our community, the place and the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What else do we do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 100 harvesters and tree owners contribute each year. We make juice to sell at Queen’s Park Day (when that can happen), have a dehydrator for members to borrow, run jam making workshops, Parlour restaurant kindly makes jam for us, we’ve harvested with children’s nurseries, lend a fruit picking tool through the library on Salusbury Road and have planted 40 fruit trees on a local estate and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To join or for ask questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
