Nonprofits come together to plant orchards across metro Atlanta - WSB-TV

Some metro area nonprofits have figured out a way to get fresh fruit to people who can’t afford it — they’re growing it.
Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen spent time with some volunteers this week along Hi Hope Lane in Lawrenceville, where they were planting all kinds of berries in a brand-new orchard to help a community in need.
“Our goal is to have people within half a mile of an orchard, and that food can go out. Tons and tons of food,” said Kate Conner with the Food Well Alliance.
