    I know not everybody can do this but where I live many houses have apple trees and a whole lot of them go unpicked, I just knock on the door and ask to pick and mostly get a yes.

    My local elementary school has like 6 cherry trees that anyone can pick and blackberries are an invasive weed here and are literally everywhere.

    There might be more available to you than you realize.

      I’ve looked around. There is nothing in this farming town that has absolutely destroyed the local ecosystems to make miles of monoculture cropland.

      Not to mention the community is a US Southern MAGA cesspool. You go knocking doors you’re likely to get shot.

      Unfortunately, places like mine are more common than places like yours in this fuck up of a country.

          Oh man. I love the PNW. Used to be a truck driver, did hot shot for a few years a decade ago, and fuck me I loved getting called to take a run in that direction.

          Didn’t matter if I was being called at 2 AM, if they said somewhere that was there or the New England area my ass was up and chipper because it meant I got to leave the shit hole that is the US South and got a nice, paid, road trip across the country.
