THE CHARITABLE HARVEST CONTINUES

THE CHARITABLE HARVEST CONTINUES ---- PLEASE COME OUT AND HELP IF YOU CAN!    
++++++++++++++++ 

Hello GAR volunteers,

The CSU fields are gorgeous and FULL of ripe tomatoes.  It is such easy picking.  Four of us today picked 391 pounds of tomatoes and 44 pounds of peppers in about an hour and a half.  This includes two pregnant women who were also chasing after two 3 year olds at the time.  We plan on really cleaning up tomorrow evening since we will be less distracted.

I will be at the fields at 4:30.  Come whenever you can.  Bring a medium size cloth grocery bag - we found that they are the perfect size to fill up without crushing the tomatoes. We'll transfer to boxes for transportation.  If you have small-medium boxes, they would be great too. 

Many of the CSU staff are gone this week, so I am still working on a Saturday session.  Please pass this along to friends or other groups so we can get this food into the hands of people who need it.

Directions:
Take hwy 50 to Orchard Mesa.  Exit B1/2 Rd - it is an overpass crossing the highway.  Take B 1/2 Rd all the way to 31 3/4 Rd.  Turn left at 31 3/4 Rd and then a very quick left into the driveway.  Make a left and then a right onto the main dirt road.  You will see my green subaru parked along the side or in the fields.  Give me a call if you need directions:  609-610-1425.

Thank you!!

Amanda
