Pick For Your Neighbor

Pick for Your Neighbor is a partnership program between the Vermont Foodbank, the Agency of Agriculture and the Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association. During apple harvest season citizens are encouraged to visit a participating orchard to pick and purchase extra apples for donation to the Foodbank. This program benefits the Foodbank by increasing the amount of fresh, healthy produce available for distribution to our network partner food shelves and meal sites throughout Vermont while also helping to increase business for local orchards.

Consider spending a day at one of Vermont’s orchards this coming season and Pick for Your Neighbor.
