About not far from the tree

"Not far from the tree" ensures that Toronto’s fruit doesn’t go to waste. When fruit tree owners can’t harvest their bounty, we dispatch teams of volunteers to harvest it for them. One third goes to the fruit tree owners, another third goes to the volunteers for their labour, and the final third is distributed (by bicycle or cart) to community organizations in the neighbourhood who can make good use of the fresh fruit.

We also harvest the excess from Spadina Museum to sell at market. That's how we roll. If you have a photo of our cherry picking or apple gleaning, please add it to the group!
