Remember THIS story I brought you about Scott Hawthorn's Picker Shack orchard that he owns in Naramata which he uses to funnel cherries and other sweetness onto the menu of his local business, Salt Tasting Room in Blood Alley? Well they're about to donate 4,000 pounds of apples and pears to the Vancouver Food Bank!

Two Vancouver yoga instructors, Erin Tetarenko and Christie Baumgartner from I.BE, did a yoga and fruit picking retreat at the orchard over this past weekend and in 3 hours everyone who attended picked Spartan and Golden Delicious apples as well as Bosc, Bartlett and Anjou pears. They ended up with a whopping 4,000 pounds of fruit that they're trucking down to the food bank tomorrow, and they're going to do it again this weekend! There are a few spots left in the retreat if you've like to join. Learn all about it HERE and contact Christie or Erin directly to sign up.
