A lucky few adopted their own peach tree from the The Masumoto Family Farm this summer. Located near Fresno, California, the farm takes applications for this unique adoption program which gives “parents” the responsibility for harvesting their own Elberta peach tree on two consecutive Saturdays at peak picking time. It’s tough work in very hot weather, but you get to keep a typical yield of 200-300 pounds of fruit and you can share ownership with friends or donate one weekend to a food bank. The adoption fee is $350. (via SF Chronicle)
