About This Opportunity

Across the island, there are properties with too many trees for the land holder to harvest themselves. There are also many people who would cherish the opportunity to harvest and take home fresh fruit. Group Harvests bring these two groups together. Trained volunteers do the harvesting. The land holder keeps a third, the harvesters keep a third, and a third goes to our community partners, who share and prepare the produce to support folks who are food insecure. Join us if you want to help harvest - or volunteer your tree(s) for us to harvest.
