Join us to kick off the new harvest season and support NOT FAR FROM THE TREE at our spring screening of THE GLEANERS AND I and then party it up with drinks, mingling, prizes, and fun. Among other special offerings, a select number of our signature drink - known as "The Gleaner," designed by Chef Sharon Bergey of Jamie Kennedy Kitchens, and made with a delicious preparation of elderberry syrup gleaned from a Toronto tree - will be available.
Be one of the first to see this new venue, the Toronto Underground Cinema, and screen an inspiring film that critics have adored ("Visually brilliant!" "A bewitching documentary!" "A tribute to all the people who think outside the box"), all about our favourite subject: gleaning!

Not Far From The Tree is Toronto's very own fruit tree project, helping to ensure that the fruit growing in the city is picked, shared, eaten, and enjoyed! Our fruit-picking program has harvested over 11,000 lbs of fruit that would otherwise have gone to waste and is then shared with the homeowner, volunteers, and local food banks and shelters. We also run preserving workshops, host public events about local food and the urban forest, lead educational programs, and harvest maple syrup from the urban core.
We're in the process of raising funds for our 2010 season, so your support is crucial at this time! Thank you.
