There will be a seasonal apple flavour to October’s Farmers’ Market at Orton (Saturday 9 October) and a chance for visitors and local fruit growers to press apple juice from their own crop. Local expert, Hilary Wilson, will be at the Market with members of the new North Cumbria Orchard Group and they will be bringing along the smaller of their two apple presses.
“If visitors bring along roughly a carrier bag full of their apple crop, we should be able to press at least a litre of juice for them,” says Hilary. “They’ll need to bring along containers for the final juice too. It should be fascinating to find out where the apples have grown, the variety and a little bit about the health of the trees. If anyone isn’t sure of their variety then we may be able to help with some identification as well.”
Orton Farmers’ Market opens at 9.30am and runs until 2.30pm on Saturday 9 October and Hilary Wilson will be available apple variety identification until about 12 noon.
