Apples and Pears and Tomatoes, Oh My!

A few EcoHouse residents went out on Sunday to harvest a bunch of fruit (and even some tomatoes and onions!) from the orchard/garden of a Grinnell professor emeritus. Huge thanks to Elliott Uhlenhopp and his family, who were kind enough to let us harvest and keep these veggies. What a pleasant surprise to come home to buckets and buckets of fresh produce on Sunday night!
