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 Friday, June 12 from 3:30 - 5:30 pm near the Coralville Community Garden and the Coralville Water Facility, Parks, and Transit (900 10th Street)

Please bring basket/bucket/container/cup/bag to hold the berry if you would like to take some home. Wear a hat and sunscreen, bring a bottle of water. We will have ice cream with Juneberry compote to share at the end of the harvest. There will be water sprinkler provided by Coralville Parks & Rec so dress to get wet.

Juneberries are excellent in pancakes, muffins, jam, smoothies, salad, and anything else you would like to enhance with a wild component. They also freeze very well to be use in the winter when we miss that dose of summer's goodness.

If interested, please fill out this form to help us plan accordingly: https://forms.gle/rVMhHy9zXcD1EzMM9

Juneberries ripen whenever the weather is right, so this date is a place holder. We might move it to an earlier or later day depending on the readiness of juneberry fruits. Keep an eye out for update on this site and out website.
