How do you become part of the One Tomato Project? It's easy!

1. Send us an email to let us know that you'd like to grow your own vegetables, eat them, and give some to your local food bank. If you're an organization, you'll have your name included on our 'Participants' page.

2. Determine how big or small you'd like your One Tomato Project to be. Are you plowing your backyard or buying a pot?

3. Pick at least one vegetable that suits your environment and your tastes. Don't try planting orange trees in Alberta and don't plant broccoli for yourself if you don't like it. (Makes sense, right?)

4. Find gardening calendars for your growing region to figure out when the best time is for planting.

5. Plant your seeds or small plants according to their needs.

6. Maintain as required. (A little bit of sun here, a little bit of water there.)

7. Once ripe, enjoy your homegrown food and give any extras to your local food bank, which is always greatly in need of generous, industrious people like yourself!
