Pick,
Share, and
Take Good Care.

COVID-19: Events are operating according to guidelines set out by Ottawa Public Health. Specific measures (if any) will be communicated prior to each harvest.

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, the tree owner, and at times a portion is shared with Hidden Harvest. If you would like to pick fruit, or if you have a tree that needs picking, you can register through our website.  If you would like to tell a neighbour that they can register their tree for harvesting, find flyers here to spread the word. If you know of a community group such as a food bank that could use local fruit, let us know.

Current Results

Between 2012 and 2023 we rescued over 100,000 pounds of fresh, healthy, local food, and donated over 55,000 pounds to local food agencies.
