As it gets colder I've been watching the fruit on the trees in my neighborhood fall and start to rot on people's front lawns. It has crossed my mind to go on a reconnaisance mission in the middle of the night and make some apple butter, but so far I've thought better of it. A group in Toronto has done one better, and has created a service where volunteers harvest fruit for property owners who don't have time to do it themselves. The group gives 1/3 of the harvest to the homeowner, 1/3 to the volunteers, and 1/3 to local food banks.

I'm in for some 3 AM apple "liberation." When do we go? Seems such a waste to let perfectly good food turn to mush in your lawn. Besides, I have a new balaclava and want to break it in.
