Apples

When an apple grower in Bayfield ended up with 39,000 pounds of apples they had no where to store, Second Harvest Northern Lake Food Bank was happy to step in. 

Probably because the idea of a food bank conjures a mental picture of boxes and cans of food sitting on shelves, Second Harvest wants people to know that almost a third of the food they provide is fresh produce. 

And they're looking for new partners.
