White Harvest Farms’ goal is to offer a you-pick grove filled with peach, pear and plum trees in the Historic Moncrief Creek neighborhood. This will increase the accessibility of fresh produce.
If people are interested in volunteering to help plant theses fruity trees, they can sign up HERE.
This community tree planting initiative hopes to increase access to fresh, affordable foods in a low-income, low access area by increasing annual production by at least 1,500 pounds. - White Harvest Farms
