Today our Project Pick volunteers harvested close to 300 pounds of lemons and organges that will go to the Alameda Food Bank tomorrow. That’s 300 pounds that won’t end up in the landfill and will help feed our neighbors. Thats called a win- win! we 🏆

So far this year we have picked over 4,000 pounds of produce.

If you have a fruit tree that is in need of harvesting and you would like to donate the harvest to the Alameda Food Bank, sign up on our website at alamedabackyardgrowers.org. ... See MoreSee Less

Landfill is not where they end up if unpicked. Food for roof rats or green bin

Love this!

That’s so great!

I didn't realize that it's lemon season. I haven't looked at my trees for a while, So I've missed a few seasons, so all the fallen leaves and lemons will compost in place after all the critters have their fill.

Just Awesome 😎

We’ll discuss their many resources available to island residents, as well as their Project Pick program that turns excess harvest into needed donations for the @alamedafoodbank. No HD radio?
