Setting a Toronto precedent
Aug 7th, 2008 by Laura Reinsborough
The other day I was asked how long we’d been picking for, and I answered, “Oh, it must be 7 or 8 weeks now…” but when I checked the math I found that our very first residential fruit pick was on July 2nd. In our first month of picking, we’ve gathered (drumroll, please!) almost 1000 pounds of fresh, local fruit.
The accolades for this must go to the gleaning volunteers. They have offered their time, but even more importantly they have offered their enthusiasm and excitement. I’m already planning a thank-you party after the picking season is over so get ready to celebrate!
