Pick,
Share, and
Take Good Care.

Hidden Harvest Ottawa

We pick and share fruit that would otherwise go to waste, through volunteer-led harvest events. The fruit is shared with volunteer pickers, the nearest food agency and the tree owner. If you would like to pick fruit, or if you have a tree that needs picking, learn how to get involved today!

Want to help your neighbours harvest their fruit tree? Find flyers here and help spread the word! Do you know of a food agency that could use local fruit? Reach out and let us know.
