Quebec City market fights food waste by collecting urban apples to make cider
A callout from the Grand Marché was answered by dozens of households offering up their backyard apples
Walking along the Saint-Charles River in Quebec City this time of year, fallen crabapples line the sides of the path.
Occasionally, a passerby will scoop one up from the ground, but for the most part, they are left there to rot.
"We used to walk around the river and we would always see all those apples left out and we were wondering if there was something we could do about it," said Côté-Rouillard, who is the general manager of the Grand Marché de Québec.
Rather than see all these apples go to waste, Côté-Rouillard and her team decided to try collecting them and having them converted into an urban cider.
The final product is expected to be available for purchase at the market in spring 2022.
