Orchard Day with Apple Pressing – Viveka Gardens

Viveka Gardens is holding an Orchard and Apple Pressing Day on Sunday 13th October 2024.

Bring your apples and your family to a community apple pressing day, uniting Coldridge, West & East Leigh, North Tawton and surrounding villages – Winkleigh, Lapford and more! – with autumnal activities, including cake, drinks, soup and bread. Juice and apples by donation. We’ll be raising money for Okehampton Food Bank and Care 4 Calais.

Everyone welcome, even if you don’t have apples to press or miss a slot. We’re looking for volunteers to help with the pressing too from 10 am.

You can also bottle and pasteurise your juice if you want (some people take it away in flagons for cider making).

**Please note the apple pressing is for households, not businesses or charities. There are 30-minute slots to ensure fair use. We hire our apple press and equipment from Orchards Live and recommend this local charity.**

Suggested minimum £5 donation for a slot, we are not sure at the moment if we can supply bottles. Volunteers to help ‘man’ the press for a time and contributions of cake and nice loaves welcome. Please RSVP by messenger – it really helps to know the numbers coming and when!

Thank you
