Apple Capture: Pick & Press Events
| September 9, 2023 |
Join us to pick apples and press juice!
In 2022, 310 volunteers of the Apple Capture program picked 2,966 lbs of fruit from 45 yards and pressed about 2,697lbs of apples into 223L of juice! Some of this juice went home with volunteers while some was donated to our local Food Recovery programs in each community.
Cranbrook and Kimberley are home to many fruit trees and the harvest season is around the corner. Help us ensure that local fruit is diverted from going to the landfill or becoming wildlife attractants by volunteering at one of our Pick and Press events!
