History of Lemons in Hawaii

Social farming and gleaning can incorporate programs for youth and otherwise marginalized people in any community https://socialfarmyouth.eu

This was an experiment by kindergarten children. They dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen.

This is Vinh. She lives on our street in Mililani. Her house on the corner is surrounded by fruit trees. For months now, we've seen her set up a small sidewalk ...stand to sell fruits, with a handmade sign, a scale, and an extension cord-powered light. She'll often sit outside from dusk to 10:00 p.m. Once in a blue moon, I'll see someone stop, but for the most part she's out in the dark by herself for hours. Struck by this scene, I finally went over to say hello. I learned her name, and that right now she's selling star apples and longan fruits. She offered samples, the longan being softer and sweeter. I bought a couple. She said she is 68, and that she suffered a stroke but is recovering. She said staying inside made her depressed. She said she likes being outside and watching people and meeting people. She likes our neighborhood. She doesn't like the rain. I'm glad I went over to meet her. I'll be sure to check on her now and then, and buy more fruit. I think lychee will be in season soon. #humansofhawaii #neighborhoodstories #peopleonthestreet #mililanitown #mililani #fruitstand #centraloahu #hawaii

It's gleaning time again...and we're looking for a few good trees to pick, hopefully shorter and easier to climb than this. If you have too much fruit on the branches, too many vegetables in the garden, or just too much food on your shelves, tomorrow is FREE FRUIT SHARING MARKET at St Augustine's. 4-5 pm. Share what you can. Take what you need. Text 808-889-1282
