Join Our Mission
We harness the power of fruit trees to create 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.
Harvesting Impact
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!
