Fruits of the City

10/04/2011

Do you live or work near a fruit tree with just as much fruit on the ground as on the tree? Have you ever thought something could be done to combat the waste?

Enter member group the Minnesota Project and Fruits of the City. Started in 2008 with just one apple tree, this year the program and its volunteers has picked more than 30,000 pounds of fruit from 200 trees, all donated to local food shelves.
