How It Works – Calgary Harvest

🌳 For Tree Owners

Got more fruit than you can handle? Here's how we help.

1

Fill out our simple sign-up form with your address and what kind of fruit tree you have.

2

When your fruit is ripe, let us know. We'll organize a team of volunteer pickers at a time that works for you.

3

Our volunteers arrive with ladders, baskets, and big smiles. You don't need to lift a finger (unless you want to!).

4

You keep a third of the harvest. The rest goes to our volunteers and local food programs.

Love fresh fruit and great company? Join the picking crew.

1

Register as a volunteer picker through our sign-up form. Tell us your neighbourhood and availability.

2

When a harvest is happening near you, we'll send you a heads-up with the details.

3

Come to the harvest, meet your neighbours, and help pick fruit. We provide all the equipment.

4

Enjoy your share of the harvest — fresh, local, and free. It doesn't get better than this.

Yes! There's no cost to register your tree or to volunteer as a picker. We're funded by donations and community grants.

Any fruit-bearing tree or bush — apples, cherries, plums, pears, crabapples, saskatoon berries, and more. If it grows fruit, we're interested!

Not necessarily. As long as our team can safely access the tree, you're welcome to be there or carry on with your day.

That's actually preferred! We love organic, unsprayed fruit. A few blemishes just mean it's the real deal.
