This has been such a whirlwind week for me! On Friday
morning we received an unexpected location to harvest. It was a huge grapefruit tree in the middle
of a lush green backyard complete with fountains and a real-life 40-year-old tortoise!
Luckily we had some fantastic spur of the moment volunteers who could come and
help us out. We picked over 13 crates
full of grapefruit and with each crate weighing about 50 pounds that’s over 650
pounds of grapefruit! On Saturday I
attended an earth day event that Iskashitaa was tabling at. We had all our beautiful clothes, baskets,
water-bottle holders, jams and other preserves out for display. The event was a huge success and people
especially loved the pomegranate lime jelly (I tried some and it was
Delicious). People once again responded enthusiastically
to our mission and hopefully we’ll have some more fruit trees and volunteers
coming our way thanks to our efforts!
This Friday is the last HCETer harvest so if you haven’t had the chance
to volunteer with us come on out!
