what do you think of this?
A service for people who have edibles growing on their property but no time or patience for preserving it: a 2-person "crew" that comes to the home, harvests the edibles and puts them up -- pickles, sauces, preserves, freezer packs, whatever. Either for a fee, or for a share of the product (which could be donated to a food bank).

I know there are gleaners groups, but this could provide a service for low-income homeowners who just happen to have fruit trees or nut trees etc.

1. I think it's a great idea!
It would work for people like me too...I can't do it physically on my own.

4. That's a great idea!
We could have used that when we had three apricot trees and no help at all. :)
