Abundance

Abundance is a project, based in Sheffield which harvests a seasonal glut of local fruit like apples, pear and plums. A team of volunteers help harvest city fruit and redistribe the surplus to the community on a non-profit basis - to community cafes, nurseries, Surestarts and individuals. The project has juiced tonnes of fruit and made jams, chutneys and preserves, some of which, have been for sale. Abundance contines through the seasonal cycle with planting and pruning workshops. In June 09 produced the Handbook, a guide to community urban harvesting.
