Mulberry Madness on Fox 45 News

Civic Works’ Baltimore Orchard Project (BOP) is hosting the 2nd Annual Mulberry Madness Festival in Baltimore during the month of June 2016. We are hosting mulberry harvests around the city to promote the goodness of mulberries, and the awareness of something even more important: the need to re-imagine a 21st century food system that must gear up to feed 9 billion people world-wide.

Though mulberries are small, they have tremendous health benefits. They are a great source of antioxidants, provide immune system support, promote healthy blood sugar levels and are a good source of protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, fiber, and iron.

Amazingly, mulberries can be found free for the picking throughout our city. From June 23rd to 25th, participating venues in Hampden and Remington will be serving up innovative mulberry dishes, all sourced from local, volunteer-harvested mulberry trees.
