Share the Harvest, a local festival coordinated by FoodFutures, is taking place for the second time this year. The festival focuses on the prevention of food waste and the rescue of unharvested fruit across Lancaster district in early autumn.
FoodFutures is calling upon local groups and organisations to partake in this year's programme, with the opportunity to run their own events — from fruit picking to apple pressing, to preserving workshops and harvest celebrations. The festival collaborates with volunteers from the North Lancashire gleaning network to assist households in harvesting fruit trees.
Excess fruit from private and community gardens can be dropped off at Eggcup’s warehouses in Lancaster and Morecambe for redistribution or use in community activities like cooking, baking, and preserving. Larger amounts can also be collected by Eggcup. Eggcup is a local organisation focussing on the reduction of waste of surplus food and the distribution to people in need.
