Neighborhood Harvest is an organization dedicated to harvesting fruit and nuts that would otherwise go to waste from people's yards in and around Ashland. We will only harvest fruit that has not been sprayed with pesticides. At least 25% of what we harvest is being donated to local hunger relief organizations, 25% is for the volunteer pickers, 25% we offer to the home owner, and the remaining 25% we are trying to sell and trade in order to support the organization.
To date, we have harvested 2,000 pounds of fruit, all from within 15 miles of Ashland. Our goal is to harvest 10,000 pounds of fruit by the Winter of 2009. We have over 100 people on our volunteer e-mail list.
We recently made the front page of the Daily Tidings! Click here to read the article
