Bradley Harder has baked more than 200 pies for members of his community. | CBCToronto
Bradley Harder is an East York resident spreading joy through his homemade pies.The East York resident says there's nothing quite like the comfort you get from a warm pie, save for a "warm hug from your mom."
He decided he wouldn't leave his house, but to pass the time, he started creating YouTube videos calledIn one of the videos, Harder mentioned running out of some ingredients. So, some friends watching decided they'd order groceries to his door. "I was so moved by this that I thought, 'Well, what can I do? I mean I'm stuck at home, I'm vulnerable ... I've got COPD, I don't want to catch the disease,'" he said.He started by baking pies for the people who'd sent him food, then for some friends, then for some neighbours, and 200 pies later, Harder's still getting requests.
Kathryn Rose — a friend of Harder's from his days as a jazz musician — and her two children are some of the lucky recipients of one of Harder's apple pies.Rose says it's no surprise he's taking his time in quarantine to do something good for the community.WATCH: Rose's children Styx Macniven, 14, and Ivor Macniven, 11, made a card and a song for Harder titled Pie Man
