Salem Hervest
Last week my Dad and I spent a morning picking apples for Salem Harvest.

Salem Harvest is an organization based out of my hometown in Salem Oregon. Usually, a farm will only be harvested a handful of times during the harvesting season. At the end of the season, what hasn’t been picked is left in the fields. Salem harvest organizes harvesting parties to get people out to pick produce that would otherwise be wasted and donates the harvest to the food bank. The best part is that you get to keep half of what you pick. We must of picked over a hundred pounds of apples. We managed to fill up our car and we donated a lot of food to the food bank.

The challenge once we got home was to find creative ways to eat apples. We ate pies, dried apples, and made sauce.
