How it works
Through our community fruit harvests, we rescue the often overlooked fruit growing throughout Boulder that would otherwise fall to the ground and go to waste. Once harvested, the fruit is distributed to food insecure individuals & families, CFR's volunteer pickers & tree stewards, and made into shelf-stable preserves. Even the non-edible grade fruit is rescued and donated to animal sanctuaries!
Tree stewards contact us requesting harvest help.
