Picking fruit in the Sunshine

Yesterday was a great day. The sun was shining, and the air was sweet with fruit. I was picking fruit for the Cowichan Green Community's program FruitSave. In the office we got a phone call about a tree that was bursting with plums. We headed out there out there to pick the plums, bright yellowish-orangy plums. It was fun, and in the end we picked about 100 pounds of plums. We sent about 50 pounds of plums to warmland house.

How it works: 1/3rd goes to the picker, 1/3rd goes to the home/tree owner, 1/3rd to the food bank. If you want to help out, get some great fruit or just have fun picking fruit, let us know. You can view the FruitSave page for more information.
