Description

As the agency reported it.

This proposed program will take fruit we harvest that cannot be distributed to food banks - bruised, pest-damaged, or windfallen - and process IT into fruit-centered, culturally-relevant foods. After creating in-house jams, salsas, and more, we hope to leverage our current partnerships to distribute and/or sell the foods. Under this planning grant, we can assess our fruit supply and the demand for fruit-products at partner food banks to see how we can sustainably meet their needs, and then see whether a portion of product can be sold at local businesses to create a sustainable source of revenue for this program in the future. This planning project allows US to conduct outreach to assess specific food needs across seattle and learn what fruit-centered recipes are most desired in the communities we serve. During the 2022 harvest season, our team will record the type and amount of fruit harvested. This data will allow US to determine monthly fruit availability, and plan for recipes and distribution. We will locate a kitchen for fruit-processing, and host pilot volunteer baking events, to assess the time and resources needed to produce these foods. Through this planning, we will identify a path to maximize the use of local fruit and further promote access to quality, local fruit for all.
