​​DIY Made Easy: Tools to Harvest and Preserve Your Fruit

CFR is excited to offer tools that make the process of rescuing fruit more accesssible to everyone. We realize equipment can be cost prohibitive, and at times unnecesary for individuals to personally purchase.  Whether you're harvesting at home or looking to get more creative with how to make the most of your harvest, we're here to help. Keep an eye out as we grow, more tools and resources are on the way!

​If you're able, we ask that you make a donation to cover the full cost of your rental. Your support helps keep these resources available to the whole community! If that's not possible, partial or full support is available—just reach out and ask at [email protected].

HARVEST

Want to harvest at home but don't have the tools to get the job done? The options below are perfect for:

• Homeowners in need of equipment: Not everyone has the necessary tools for fruit picking at their disposal. 
• Property renters: If you're renting a temporary property and don't want to invest in expensive equipment.
• HOAs and neighborhoods: Foster community resilience by enabling members to work together in harvesting the local bounty. Strengthen community bonds while reducing food waste.
• Wildlife conflict prevention: One of the main reasons humans come into conflict is over-available food sources, like fruit! Help us minimize conflicts with local wildlife, such as bears, raccoons, and deer, by harvesting ripe fruit trees with our tools.
