Loco For Loquats! 

   

Join us for the LAST Pick 'n Kitchen of the season 
"Loco-for-Loquats!"

Experience the amazingly overlooked fruit source in our 'hood: the Loquat!

 

WHEN: Saturday, May 4th, 9:00am - 1:00pm

The "Pickers," with poles and ladders will glean this neglected, precious fruit.


The "Kitcheners" will lead us in a secret recipe
(chutney? pickles? jam?), and all will take home some of the bounty!


Your LAST CHANCE until January to experience a Hollywood Orchard community Pick 'n Kitchen!


WHERE:

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Please arrive by 9:00am to sign in for the event, receive a name tag and enjoy some light refreshments. We will start at 9:15am and divide into 6-8 picking crews before heading out to gather fruit. At the same time, "Kitcheners" will set up stations to separate and prepare the incoming fruit. Clean up party starts at noon!

WHAT TO BRING:

  • Please wear comfortable, old clothes and sturdy shoes, as we'll be working throughout the morning. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a sack lunch.
  • Harvest Tools: If you have pruning sheers, fruit pickers, work gloves and plastic buckets, please bring them.

TRANSPORTATION & PARKING:  

  • Please walk, ride a bike or carpool to the Glen Green cul-de-sac as parking is very limited.
  • Be sure to check parking signs and please be respectful of our neighbors and where you leave your vehicle.   

Thanks for all your great support and we look forward to a fun Citrus-Galore Pick!

You can find them deep in the jungles of Borneo, in the hills of Umbria and perhaps even in your own backyard. They are fruit hunters, the subjects of the new film from acclaimed director Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze, China Heavyweight).

 

The screening will be followed with a Q&A with Bill Pullman and others from the film! And after that: rare fruit sampling!
