about Forage Oakland

Forage Oakland is a fruit barter network founded in 2008 by Asiya Wadud. We harvest and redistribute North Oakland residents' backyard fruit, and through the Forage City platform, leverage the potential of technology to connect Oakland residents. Oaklanders with surplus fruit and residents and community organizations who'd like to receive surplus fruit join Forage Oakland to partake in the exchange.
