  1. #LifecyclesProjectSociety #FruitTreeProject Update.

    This year, we have harvested over 63,000 lbs of fruit! Of that, almost 32,000 lbs of Grade A fruit has been donated to the community, to over 70 community service agencies throughout the Greater Victoria Area. Our tree stewards have kept 4,500 lbs, and our amazing team of 191 Harvest Leads and Pickers have taken 13,000 lbs home. 

    What about the other 13,500 lbs you ask? 

    Made up of B-Grade, we have processed just over 7500 lbs into juice and jam. Some of the fruit is always C-Grade (compost). To date, we have composted just under 6000 lbs of fruit - while some of this has gone to our friends at Community Composting, the vast majority has gone to a local pig farmer.

    We are proud to say no fruit has gone into the landfill!

  2. Great harvest pick of #GrannySmith #apples today. Granny Smith apples are currently one of the most expensive apples in local stores with average pricing of $2.99/lb. The apples we gleaned from one tree, were almost all perfect apples - very few with damage on them 🍏😃
    These will be greatly appreciated by many food insecure folks around our community 👍💗

  3. Missing 3 volunteers who had to leave at noon. Some of our weekend warriors who volunteered for our fruits chopping work party at Mustard Seed Distribution HQ, today. We cut & bagged up a LOT of fruits! We are making value added products to sell, with these bagged cut fruits.
    As a nonprofit, we need to sell some items to fund our community food security work. All sale profits go back into funding our programs/projects.
