Orchards

Picture of the recently re-discovered Gypsy King apple varietySnell’s Glass and Pig’s Snout apples were once commonplace. Orchards used to be part of the local landscape and culture, some with their own special varieties of fruit, some with their own customs and others with their own recipes. We work with communities and orchard owners to identify remaining orchards and restore, replant and return some of them to productivity.  Unfortunately, In this final year there are no more grants and no capacity to give advice.

 

If you own or know of a local orchard please contact us.
