Hi Pickers!

Thank you for all your help this year! To date we’ve picked and delivered 3,845 lbs to the Alameda Food Bank (and 39 lbs of figs to Food Shift Kitchen). Well done!

We have one more pick scheduled in 2018 – on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2PM. We need more trees for this pick, so please tell your friends and neighbors with trees laden with extra fruit to contact us.

Please let us know if are able to help pick by emailing info@alamedabackyardgrowers.org and I will let you know where to meet up.

Meanwhile – Happy Thanksgiving!

The wave of citrus tree picking requests is beginning to hit, so we’re squeezing in one more pick in 2018!

Please join us, bring gardening gloves (if you have them), a hat and water. The meeting location will be provided when you let me know that you CAN make this pick.

Thank you!

Happy Holidays!
