  TheSaladDays asked:

  Backyard fruit exchange? By any chance, does anyone know if there are resources for people who'd like to buy fruit directly from those who grow it in their backyard rather than a grocery store or farmer's market? I was thinking about how it's almost impossible to find truly tree-ripened fruit unless you grow it yourself or know someone with a tree. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  Chris S. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a company that picks fruit? I heard there are non-profits Co that will remove all the fruit and donate it families in need. I have this HUGE grapefruit tree and I hate to see it all go to waste.

  Does anyone know any local gleaners who can help me pick oranges off my tree for donation to local food banks? The group I usually call has sadly disbanded. Thanks!
