UA Mesquite Bean Harvest
Are you interested in volunteering this summer for the UA Mesquite Bean Harvest? Our first harvest event is Sunday, July 1, at 7:30am. We will be meeting at the park in the Southwest corner of Mabel St. and Cherry Ave at the University of Arizona. If you plan on volunteering, please contact Ome at elondrae@email.arizona.edu! Hope to see you there! We need help picking mesquite pods a couple times every week. As volunteers, what days/times are you able to come help harvest with us?
This summer, the UA Mesquite Bean Harvest Project is excited to be partnering with the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to design a harvest net that will more cleanly and efficiently gather the edible mesquite pods from trees scattered across campus. They started developing a design of the structure this past week. The UA Mesquite Bean Harvest Project is looking for any suggestions from harvesters that have experimented different techniques of gathering mesquite pods. This project will be experimenting with these nets on UA campus while continuing to hand-pick mesquite pods, which, with the help of local non-profit Desert Harvesters, will be ground into flour and used by UA Dining Services in delicious, gluten-free cakes, cookies, and breads. If you have any suggestions or ideas for a net structure, please contact the UA Mesquite Bean Harvest Coordinator, Ome Eichenberger, at elondrae@email.arizona.edu or call 520-621-1756. Thank you!
