The team from fruitID will be in attendance throughout the day. You are invited to bring any apples or pears from your own trees to get them identified. Bring several representative fruits. Use these guidelines to help you select examples, and if possible you can fill the ID form out in advance.
All picking equipment is provided, but feel free to bring your own apple pickers if you have them – it may speed you up at busy times! Instruction and guidance is available from our team of keen volunteers.
After picking, all apples will be juiced for sale at local events. This is the main fundraising activity of the group, so please help support our local orchard!
Please do not park in the Rivers Hospital car park or access road.
