Fruit Slinger Looking For Backers

By Chuck Sudo in Food on May 21, 2009 7:00PM

Daniel "Fruit Slinger" Shumski writes one of our favorite blogs, which is as seasonal as the orchard and farmers markets he works. For this season, Shumski is looking to move to a better server and acquire a very good camera for farmers market pr0n, so he's set up a pledge page for folks to help him out. Hey, if it's good enough for public television, public radio and even some magazines, why not the Fruit Slinger?

The minimum amount for which Shumski's asking ($950) is modest and the pledges will be collected only if that minimum is met by 9 a.m. July 15. Shumski's collected $190 so far from some familiar faces of local food bloggerati.
