If you have yet to find plants to harvest from visit our Map. Please remember to respect the plants you choose to harvest from. We want to make sure everyone gets equal opportunity to enjoy natures' bounty, so please DO NOT cause any damage to the plants you are harvesting from. ONLY pick what you are going to eat. Trees and shrubs work very hard to produce the food you are going to enjoy, so let's not waste it!

Take a moment to visit the links below to learn more about some of Ontario's edible plant species. Be sure to compare the leaves (shape, number, size), twigs, bark and fruit to photos and descriptions to verify the species. It is VERY important to be certain about the species before you harvest! We have many species of fruit bearing plants in Ontario (many of which look-alike), not all of which are edible. Not all parts of the plant species below are edible. Read more about a species to find out which parts you can incoroprate into your next meal.

Please rememeber that you should ONLY be harvesting from PUBLIC property. Please respect others who may be harvesting and most importanly, HAVE FUN! Take a moment to appreciate your surroundings and learn about the plants you are harvesting from. When you're done harvesting, we reccommend checking out some of the recipes found HERE.
