Another fun pick - this time Hachiya Persimmons (the tear-drop shaped ones) on Bay Farm Island. Such a beautiful tree and we were able to glean 267 pounds for our neighbors at the Food Bank. Win-win for everyone!

As always, a special thanks to our dedicated volunteers. We couldn’t do it without you! ... See MoreSee Less

That is amazing !🤩

Everyone should have at least 2 fruit trees in the yard. For self and sharing like the old days of our grand parents. Family's trading goods and creat friendships.

Bravo!!👏🏼💚

Whoa!! Bravo 👏 I love persimmons and those get extra sweet!

Excellent!!

James Beard persimmons bread recipe is fantastic!!

I have an apple tree that is loaded. Can you send someone to look at it? I think your group picked them last year. My address is 3501 Magnolia Dr, Alameda CA 94501 and my phone number is 510 -522-0724.
