Apple Day at Mansbridge Community Orchard
The excitement is building, Apple Day is upon us once again!
Apple Pressing Day Sun 13th Oct 2019 2-4pm with Southampton Woodcraft Folk , Transition Southampton and Alan Gibson at Mansbridge Community Orchard (Southampton). All welcome, all ages! Bring a flask of tea, cake and refreshments.
Meet by the playground at the end of Octavia Road. If driving, park by the Swan Inn. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather, and for clambering about in woodland and/or operating apple presses or chopping apples. Bring a cup for sampling the deliciously fresh Apple Juice! Also you could bring any apples from home to add to the pressing.
Meanwhile, my shed is filled with 115kgs of apples that we picked last weekend - the press is working overtime - 5 gallons of juice has already been processed and two gallons of cider is fermenting nicely!
