Food Is Everywhere - Juneberry Harvesting with the Coralville Community Food Pantry

  • Coralville Community Food Pantry 804 13th Avenue Coralville, IA, 52241 United States (map)

The Coralville Community Food Pantry is excited to offer a free foraging event to harvest Juneberry, also known as serviceberry, saskatoon, sugarplum in Coralville on Thursday, June 12, from 3:00 - 4:30 pm near the Coralville Community Garden and the Coralville Water Facility, Parks, and Transit (900 10th Street)

Please bring a basket/bucket/container/cup/bag to hold the berry if you want to take some home. Wear a hat and sunscreen, and bring a bottle of water. We will have ice cream with Juneberry compote to share at the end of the harvest. Juneberry are excellent in pancake, muffin, jam, smoothie, salad, and anything else you want to add a wild component to. They also freeze very well to be use in the winter when we miss that dose of summer's goodness.

Please fill out this form if you're coming so we can estimate how much ice cream to bring.

Here's a waiver form for you to fill out as well.
