Fleet Fruits
About Fleet Fruits
Fleet Fruits is a nonprofit program of Fleet Farming supporting fruit tree gleaning, planting, and care. This program helps to prevent food waste from local fruit trees and distributes fruit throughout our community.
It’s common that fruit trees within our communities have fruit that becomes “forgotten”, either not being harvested when they are ripe, producing too many fruits for one family to consume, or needing some extra TLC to thrive for fruit production. As a result, ripe fruit goes to waste. Whatever the case may be, Fleet Fruits has got your back! We love to care for fruit trees so everyone can enjoy the benefits of local fruit.
Fleet Fruits aims to cycle ripe local fruit back into our school systems through food donations programs to local school communities in West Orlando.
