Urban fruit gleaning

Here's a neat idea and yet another neat video from "Cooking Up A Story": urban fruit gleaning. And it features the work of a neat volunteer-led initiative in Portland, Oregon called "The Portland Fruit Tree Project." Check it out and start bringing together a gleaning corp in your area...the fresh fruits, jams, jellies and ciders are waiting for you.

This reminds me of Fallen Fruit (http://www.fallenfruit.org/index.html), a great organization that shares the local food love in a similar way.

Great things in the NW! We've got a Community Fruit Tree Harvest Project in Seattle. As a current project of Lettuce Link, we're working to organize it at the neighborhood level. We harvested close to 11,000 pounds this year!! I love the video idea.
