FAQS
Fruit Forward Drive | saturdays in september
What kind of fruit can I donate?
Apples & pears by the bushel! There’s a one-bushel minimum, which is 40 pounds of fruit. That looks like a milk crate about 75% full, or two paper bags about 75% full.
Will you accept my gross, ugly apples and pears?
While ugly isn’t a problem, we can’t use fruit that’s rotting.
When can I drop off my apples and pears?
Bring them to our Clackamas Taproom any Saturday in September, from 9 am and 3 pm.
Where is your Clackamas location?
8925 SE Jannsen Rd., Bldg. F, Clackamas, OR 97015
What happens to my donated fruit?
Our cider makers will press it into our 2024 - 2025 special release Community Cider! All proceeds from the sale of the cider will go to local Oregon Nonprofits, including Fighting Pretty, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
What do I get for donating?
For every bushel (40 pounds) of fruit, you’ll receive a voucher for one pint of Community Cider. Four bushels will get you a growler full!
Can I drop off before September?
Due to capacity limitations, we are only accepting in September in 2023. If your apples are ripe now and looking for a home, consider Portland Fruit Tree Project.
Are you accepting other fruits?
This year we are only accepting apples and pears.
