Share Your Fruit

Jun 20th, 2009 by Not Far From The Tree

Fruit Tree Registration Form

Once your fruit tree is registered with us, we will be able to assess whether we can send a team of volunteers to harvest it for you. We’re quickly growing our capacity but can not yet accomodate all areas of Toronto. Even if we can’t pick your tree this year, having your tree registered with us helps show need in other areas of the city. If we are able, we will be in touch a week or two before your fruit ripens to arrange a harvest date. Please note that you do not need to be home when we come to pick your tree.

Thank you for offering to share your fruit!

Type of Fruit Tree:
Variety:
Ripening Date (e.g. mid October):
Height (ft):
Do you wish to keep up to 1/3 of the fruit that is picked from your tree? If so, how much of that portion would you like?
Municipal Ward:
Notes: (e.g., fragile plants, dog in yard, information for a secondary contact person, availability of green bin or yard waste bags for excess fruit)
Ladder: We transport all of our equipment by bicycle or on foot. In order to pick as much of your fruit tree as we can, we ask that you provide ladders of appropriate heights to harvest your tree. Will you be able to provide us with ladders, and where will they be located?

As a project of a Registered Canadian Charity, Not Far From The Tree relies upon donations to offer its residential fruit harvesting program. This ensures that fresh fruit is delivered where it is needed most, while building community and helping the environment. If you are able to support our programs financially, your donation will go a long way to ensure we can continue to offer our programs and expand our reach across the city. To donate online or through the mail, click here for instructions.

Are you able to donate at this time?
