Neighborhood Fruit

Neighborhood Fruit is a service that helps people find and share produce grown within their communities, both backyard bounty and trees on public land. We currently have about 15,000 trees registered in 30 major US cities. We envision a future where people eat seasonally from their communities, and neighbors share their bounty!

About the Maker(s)

Neighborhood Fruit

Neighborhood Fruit was created to make use of the abundant fruit growing in our urban environments. Currently, the bulk of fruit grown in backyards and in our cities goes to waste, while the fruit we consume is grown in water-intensive orchards far from our homes. We envision a different future, where the bulk of backyard fruit is utilized and shared between neighbors and our diets replete with home-made goodies. Join us in creating a future where the food we eat is truly fresh, seasonal and local!
