Abundance Kirkcaldy

Lobo_cultivar
Abundance Kirkcaldy is a new project to harvest the seasonal glut of local fruit like apples, pear and plums. Each year hundreds of fruit trees go unpicked either because people don’t notice them, may not be physically able to harvest them or there is just too much fruit at one time. We can offer a team of volunteers to help harvest fruit and redistribute any unwanted or surplus to the community on a non-profit basis – to community groups, nurseries and individuals. We may also juice some of the fruit and make jams, chutneys and preserves to redistribute or sell.

If you have a fruit tree and want help with harvesting please contact us – you’ll get the first pick of the fruit and we’ll take the surplus. If you’ve noticed a fruit tree that isn’t being harvested then please let us know about it.

And if you’re interested in helping with picking, distribution or processing please contact us. Volunteers have the pleasure of eating fresh, ripe fruit from the tree, finding out more about urban food growing and working alongside enthusiastic people of all ages. You’ll need to have some free time between August and the end of October, usually at the weekend.
Please also contact us if you would like to receive fresh fruit for your community group.
