Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County
Come harvest with us! On Wednesday, November 11th, we'll be picking and packing apples at Lawerence Farms Orchard! The gleaned apples will be delivered to local food pantries, soup kitchens, and community organizations across Orange and surrounding counties. We will work in two shifts. The morning shift will run from 10:30am-12:30pm. We'll head back to the parking lot to take a break for lunch and start picking again from 1-2:30pm. If you chose to stay the whole day, make sure to bring your own lunch and sign up for BOTH shifts! Additionally, PLEASE BRING a reuseable bag to make harvesting easier. Once you fill the bag with apples you can dump them into our boxes. Parking information: There is parking on site. Upon arrival you will find spots next to the storage barn.
