Portland Fruit Tree Project

Had an amazing time at the Charfruitree event at the Redd! Highly recommend anyone to go. We filled up on one plate! So many different meats, cheese, and dietary options! We tried so many! The gluten free bread, goat cheese and vegan black truffle pate was so good. The sour cherry spread paired perfectly! We loved the plum jam so much we want to buy another jar! My daughter loves it too! My husband and I got a tattoo as well. We went as a night out for our 20th anniversary and planned to go to more places after. However, we drank and filled up so much here we just went home after it was over. The event embodied Portland and showcased so many wonderful local vendors that we will be looking for them at the local stores. I know New Seasons has a bit of what we are looking for. We have our board and have shown it to friends. It was such a great night. #Portlandfruittreeproject #anniversary #Thereddonsalmonstreet

Rodra was an amazing support to us with navigating how to care for 4 fruit trees in our yard. She walked us through all of the steps really clearly, offering some solid science behind it, and then had some time where she could watch us prune and tend to the trees to make sure we got it. You could not get this type of learning just from reading/watching how-to’s. Beyond a solid org making fruit trees / food access more accessible in the community they are a solid learning org! Highly recommend their support!

The range of knowledge across the team is exceptional. If looking for advice or hands-on harvesting or tree care or pruning your fruit trees, I highly recommend the Portland Fruit Tree Project.

What a terrific garden for children to learn about nature, get muddy in the dirt, make friends and have caring adults around them. Thank you for a blessed, free Spring Break learning experience for my grandson. He wouldn’t ever have had such a fabulous week without you!

They held a free spring camp for the kids, mostly outdoors and all volunteer run. It was amazing. My kiddo getting to the age where some camps are just boring and she really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much to Kate and their volunteers.

Kind, bright people doing impressive work. I work for a local food security org and am so grateful for all that PFTP does—having access to the fresh, local produce they harvest is such a gift and helps us care for & nourish our most vulnerable neighborhoods. Excited for another partner season!

A very good nonprofit that harvests fruit from fruit trees that would otherwise be wasted and gives it to those in poverty. The Project provides ladders, baskets, pickers, and other equipment, and volunteers meet at fruit trees after the owners have given permission for them to harvest. Volunteers gather and pick the fruit. A good sized tree can easily produce three hundred pounds; types of fruit I have gathered include apples, pears, almonds, plums, and Asian pears. The fruit is sorted into good and ok piles, and the good fruit is delivered to food banks. Volunteers get to take some of the ok fruit home! All in all, an excellent nonprofit doing fine work, and it's fun! Plus you get tasty fruit. Highly recommended.

Amazing organization with community tree care services, harvesting sessions, and volunteer opportunities!
