📍 Norquay Community Food Forest, 2732 Horley St, Vancouver, BC V5R 4R8, Canada
🗓 Season: July · August · September · June
🔍 When is it ripe?
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
Cherry: Deep red and glossy; stem pulls cleanly. Taste is the best test — sweet and juicy when ripe, still astringent if picked too early.
The Norquay Community Food Forest is located here. Check out https://www.cnh.bc.ca/food-justice/ and contact Renfrew-Collingwood Food Justice at the Collingwood Neighbourhood House to get involved!
"The Community Food Forest was conceived as a learning space by local residents and neighbourhood associations that would demonstrate regenerative, organic and innovative growing methods. It is a native plant food forest that integrates permaculture design, and the traditional ecological knowledge of Indigenous communities."
