The Hidden Orchard harvests fruit from backyards or public areas and shares it amongst the tree owners, pickers and local charities.
The charities distribute the fruit free to people within the community, or use it in meal programs.
The Hidden Orchard is a project of Ballarat Permaculture Guild.
We thank our friends at Growing Abundance (Castlemaine) for inspiration and support.
We are a not-for-profit group run purely by volunteers.
We do not sell any of the fruit that we harvest, so if you were thinking of contacting us about buying fruit, please sign up as a volunteer instead and you can pick your own!
We sometimes run jam and other preserving workshops throughout the year and sell any produce at the Ballarat Wholefoods Collective. We thank them for their ongoing support.
