They gave me several big bags full..weigh a ton..full of fruit..on the market it would cost a fortune..
Fridge is full to capacity..some fruits weighed over a kilo each!!

What a waste of good fruit on the ground rotting
Crazy world..

You better start canning all those fruits, before they go rotten.

If all those hungry people were to organise themselves, the farmer would donate the fruits & they could have a canning party. Would also bring the community members together.

We do that in my community - community canning.  Problem is there are always the people who want to benefit from cooperative efforts like this but contribute absolutely nada in gmail of time and/or resources.  I have 60 lbs of pears in my carport right now :)

Mmmm pears. We have people like that around here too... We have a community garden that helps support the food pantry then we have about 25 raised beds for the school that helps support the student meals (I think they also send some home and the students work the gardens) but you always hear people "Oh I wish I could do that." So do it! You really don't even have to get a tiller. Map out the bed, cover it in a thick layer of pine needles and by spring what's under the needles is very rich gardening soil. The extension office wants to start a local seed exchange for heirloom seeds. There's 2-3 of us who are excited about it then the rest "But that's a lot of work.." ::sigh::
