Nectarine Wishes
July 15-August 1, 2020
In celebration of last year’s exhibition, Agrarianaa, AAWAA Board President, Michelle Lee adopted two nectarine trees at Masumoto Family Farm. The team drove 3 hours on two weekends to pick these delicious fruits and came back to the Bay with crates full of fresh nectarines, homemade jam, pickled salads and even a sorbet to share with folks at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose. This year’s fundraiser was a success and we raised $250 above our goal!
