About me

Location	Portland, OR, United States
Introduction	Welcome to Fruitful Labor. Our ultimate goal is to promote the widespread use and production of fruit in the urban setting. Fruitful Labor offers consultation, education, and a maintenance service for the urban fruit grower for trees 15' and under. Please email for current services and estimates. To reach Fruitful Labor, please email your information to: j_iott@hotmail.com. I have been farming/gardening organically since 1998 starting my career at the Center for Agroecology, Santa Cruz, CA. I have gardened sites as small as a plot in Mandela Community Garden, Sacramento, CA to a 1200-acre Agriturismo in Tuscany, Italy. My appreciation of Fruit Culture started under the tutelage of Orin Martin, in the Chadwick Garden, Santa Cruz, CA, has taken me to a 5-acre organic apple orchard in E. Alstead, N.H., and to Rancho Sandia, Chico, CA to help manage a 40-acre organic walnut farm. Now, in the Northwest, I am enjoying the bounty of its fruit glory.
