One of our apple pressing kits is having a workout tomorrow in Whithorn!

🍏 That’s us part set up for tomorrow’s community apple day event South Machars Community Centre - Whithorn 10-2:30pm 🍎

It may not look like much at the moment but tomorrow it will be a hive of jolly activity, making, baking, chopping, cooking, peeling, scratting, pressing, eating and drinking…. and at least we will be warm and cosy out of the horrible weather which may come!

⭐️ If you’ve not booked to attend to join in with the making and eating of apple-themed food you’re still very welcome to pop along with any excess fruit and clean windfall apples that you would like to juice. Just remember to bring some bottles to take the juice home in!!
