Join the Rhubarb Blitz Harvest Team!

Interested in rhubarb? We created the Rhubarb Blitz exclusively for our members to access the excellent rhubarb available for harvest in Edmonton.

The Rhubarb Blitz takes place Sunday, August 15th from 11 AM – 2 PM.

A small group of volunteers are driving to a number of houses to harvest rhubarb. The fruit will be divided, and half will be donated to a food charity (to be determined).

Delivery of the donated rhubarb will be organized through our partnership with Leftovers – Home Harvest. The other half of the rhubarb will be split up among the volunteers.

We are not RHUBARBARIANS! The rhubarb will be harvested in a safe manner to ensure your plants will keep producing (only taking 2/3 of the stalks).

Interested in joining the Rhubarb Blitz Harvest Team? Please complete our Rhubarb Blitz Harvest Team Interest Form today!


PS: Do you have backyard rhubarb still available for harvest? Please complete the Rhubarb Blitz Signup.
