• Orders can be placed with students for cash or check payments or online for credit card/Venmo/CashApp payments through our store at http://givebutter.com/fallfruit25. Please note that the site lists it as an auction (something we can’t change), but the “Buy Now!” feature allows us to operate it like a store and accept electronic payment.

• All orders and payments are due by Monday, November 3rd.

• All orders will be available for pick up on Friday, November 7th from 4:10-6:30p by the Orchestra room. If you are unable to pick up your order then, please reach out to info@vsaaartsbooster.org after your order has been placed.

Kiyokawa Family Orchards is family-owned and operated, sustainably growing the finest seasonal produce since 1911. The fertile soils found at the base of Mt. Hood and rarified, glacier-fed water sources create a unique growing environment allowing them to offer over 150 distinct varieties of apples, pears, asian pears, cherries and stone fruit. 

Thank you for supporting VSAA Orchestra! 🖤
