This project aims to reduce food waste in our community,
by simply harvesting the leftover fruit from your backyard!
Hudson homeowners with established fruit-bearing trees are the foundation for the project.

How it works
As the season unfolds, volunteers from the Hudson Food Collective help to harvest the fruits of participating fruit tree owners. One third of the harvest is returned to the owner; one third split between the volunteer pickers; and one third is transformed into pies and preserves to be sold to support the running of the project.
