Yeah, you heard right. Participant went fruit picking over the weekend with Food Forward, an amazing LA based all volunteer grassroots group that gleans excess fruit from lovely properties they are invited to and donates 100% to local food pantries. On Sunday morning, we all met at a beautiful home in Sylmar to pick oranges and grapefruits. Here’s a little taste of our fruit picking fun! (and HUGE thanks to Yelena Rachitsky for these gorgeous photos!)
