Over the last few weeks, Comrie Community Orchard volunteers set up a stall in St. Kessogs Square and sold some of the Orchard’s lovely plums and Discovery apples.
What a great chance this was for locals to buy some of the amazing fruit from the Orchard and meet some of the lovely people who have worked so enthusiastically over the years to bring the orchard to this productive phase.
More recently, the Orchard Group displayed some lovely Jam in the CDT office which flew off the shelf and money from their sale was donated back into the orchard! Fantastic work!
