We harness the power of fruit trees to facilitate healthy, resilient, sustainable and connected communities across Toronto. By picking and sharing overlooked fruit, we bring people closer together and create a stronger connection with our neighbours, environment, and food system.
Since 2008, Not Far From The Tree has helped harvest over 288,440 pounds of fruit from yards across the city, donating a third to our social agency partners. With a dedicated community of over 1000 people and partnerships with over 70 agencies, together we have fed thousands and made a lasting difference in Toronto’s food system!


Your contribution can make a tangible difference in reducing food waste, increasing food access, and fostering community connections.
