A little bit of help from TorontoFC

Sep 1st, 2012 by Not Far From The Tree

As part of the TorontoFC’s #TFC12 Community Days, members of our city’s professional soccer team came out to help harvest apples with Not Far From The Tree.

Three players and TFC staff helped bring a little bit of competitive spirit to the process. They didn’t want to leave a single apple on the tree; and, after over two hours of picking (and snacking), we did it!
