CITY FRUIT CHERRY PICKING BEGINS -

The harvest has begun for EarthWorks' City Fruit program. We are currently harvesting sour cherries to be made into cherry sorbet by JP Licks - the proceeds will benefit EarthWorks' City Fruit Program, which partners with local organizations that are working to provide fresh, organic, and local produce to those in need, and in the process we hope to connect urban residents to the environment through orchard stewardship.

If you would like to help be sure to check out our Calendar for more pickings, sign up for our newsletter, and most importantly become a mermber!
