| Big Apple at Harvest Time, Much Marcle, Herefordshire - Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th October |
|
Once again we were joined by friends old and new for this celebration of Harvest Time when we opened to the public for tasting, sales, demonstration of artisan cider and perry making, orchard walks, lunches by Truffles Delicatessen of Ross-on-Wye, and morris dancing by Leominster Morris (8 October only).
We sold out our 2010 vintage cider and our visitors left us just 300 litres of perry and 60 x 75 bottles of sparkling cider to last through the winter months. Visitor numbers were slightly down on previous years (from a record high in 2009) but this gave us gave us a chance to talk to people, catch up and feel part of the event rather than have our heads down all the time - we even managed a dance together with Leominster Morris!
