Second Harvest Group

Second Harvest Group non-profit urban foraging team Did you know that most parts of your plants are edible. In Latin America, Asia and Mediterranean, these greens are a staple.

After harvesting, these edible greens are thrown out or dumped in the compost. We are a group of volunteers passionate in promoting food sustainability, increasing public awareness on new food choices, supporting locally grown crops and lessening consumerism. Support our movement by signing-up your garden and we can forage from the surplus of your harvest. Our harvests will be shared with you and

local community kitchens and in teaching the public on amazing recipes and preserving tricks. Contact us at this FB page or at [email protected] to schedule an exciting garden foraging expedition in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
