You may have noticed the display of School Aid apples and pears on the patio and in the store. The program was started by one of our growers, John Jacobson of Mt. Hood Organics, who wanted to help support the Portland Public Schools. The proceeds from the sales of these apples will be donated to enrichment programs at our neighborhood schools, such as Chapman and MLC in NW and Rieke, Robert Gray, and Wilson in Hillsdale.
