Comrie Community Orchard & Apple Day

24/09/2015

orchard plumsOver 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!

COMRIE APPLE DAY

Sunday 25 OCTOBER

Back for its 5th Year, Comrie Apple Day will be held on Sunday 25th October this year from 11am until 2pm. As usual volunteers will be crushing and juicing apples from the Community Orchard and from apple donations around the village and wider community at Cultybraggan Camp.
