All Apple Trees Now in the Ground

We are delighted to have now completed the task of planting all 231 trees into our orchard.

9 cider varieties, 2 cooker varieties, 2 dessert varieties
and some crabs to encourage pollinators.

Our next task is to build guards round the young trees to protect them from our small flock of blackface ewes who manage the grass far more effectively (and less costly) than a mechanised solution.  Thankfully we have until November this year to complete the job.

Planning applications approved

We are delighted to announce that we have now received planning approval for all the buildings required to start Foragers Foods.  Watch this space for occasional progress updates.  2014 is going to be a very busy year.
