The PQB Fruit Tree Project uses volunteers to pick fruit trees using the standard model for this type of initiative. 1/3 of the fruit goes to the homeowner, if desired, 1/3 to the volunteer, and 1/3 to our group to distribute from our community garden and pantry. In 2024, we picked and distributed 2500 pounds of fruit. In 2025 it was 7644 pounds, and so far in 2026 we’re up to 9250 pounds as of Sept 24, 2026.
FYI we are insured for $3 million in liability to protect us and you from any mishaps. Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch as soon as we can. Right now we have a ton of requests for fruit picking and we’re doing our best to get every body taken care of, please be patient with our volunteers.
I am interested to know how the picking is done. Is a pole pruner used, a ladder? I am of course worried about liability on my property. Safety first, but would love to share my harvest with others in the community. Thank you
