Home Harvest rescues and redirects excess food from backyard gardens and fruit trees, ensuring that fresh local produce doesn’t go to waste.

Our volunteers harvested rhubarb, lettuce, apples, crabapples, baby tomatoes, carrots, zucchini and beets in 2021

The program launched in 2020 in Calgary and Edmonton and is expanding this year.

In 2021, 3,185 pounds of fruit were harvested in Edmonton and Calgary
Volunteering with Home Harvest is a great way to get out in the fresh air while supporting your community. Half (or more!) of the harvest will go to a service agency running food access programming for our vulnerable neighbours, and as the harvest volunteer, you can take some home as well, increasing your own access to fresh, local produce.
