Directions

First Fruits Community Allotment & Orchard - South Cave We rent a two acre allotment and have planted it up with Apples, Pears, Plums, soft fruit and vegetables. Everyone welcome to join us on Saturday mornings.

We began renting the one acre plot in April 2010. Chris heard about community orchards. So, together with a group of friends we agreed to grow soft fruits such as raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, gooseberries and blackberries as well as some vegetables. We also planted apple trees, pears, plums, cherries, nuts and some other varieties not readily available in the shops. We agreed to run our project as the early Christians would have done: those who could afford to, put money up, others gave their time. Everyone would share equally and any surplus would be given away. We have enjoyed many fruits and vegetables from apples, plums, quince, pears, beans, potatoes, asparagus, artichokes, sweetcorn and rhubarb, raspberries and currants. In 2011 we rented the neighbouring acre plot and planted more trees including c***r apples. We are a caring, sharing, family orientated bunch of people who enjoy having a laugh and don't mind the odd bit of hard work close to nature. If you live locally and are interested in joining us please get in touch.
