Baltimore Orchard Project

Happy mulberry season! 🍇 The Baltimore Orchard Project (BOP) is looking for harvestable mulberry and serviceberry trees this month in preparation for its annual Mulberry Madness celebration. The lowly mulberry, often maligned for its splat impact on sidewalks and cars, is actually a super nutritious fruit used by home cooks as well as fine dining establishments in a variety of dishes and drinks. Mulberries provide more iron than blueberries and as much Vitamin B-6, folate, Vitamin A and E as blueberries.

Contact us on our website: baltimoreorchardproject.org to let us know where BOP volunteers (or YOU) have permission to harvest mulberries or serviceberries. As part of its mission Baltimore Orchard Project harvests orchards, street trees and approved private private trees to give fruit away to human service organizations and local underserved communities. It’s estimated that one in four of Baltimore City residents lives in a food desert.
