Today we premiered A Year in an Orchard at Haslemere Town Hall, a short film promoting Orchards and cider making. In October we picked 8 trugs of apples at John’s cider orchard at Enton in Witley for Misty Moon Cider (Farnham), with thanks to Justin and Jake of Nespresso. Sadly, the Garden Cider Company had closed and we wish the directors of the Company best wishes with their next projects and thanks for producing lovely cider and dealing with food waste this last decade. We also cut and dug-up Himalayan blackberry from John’s Orchard, a thuggish climber that’s running amok!

Fruitful Parishes Grant Funding - In November we received our first small Fruitful Parishes Project grant, from Haslemere Town Council to conduct two juicing events. Eashing Orchard Trail Planting (18th November) – On this windy, wet day, we planted six exotic fruit trees, including mulberry, quince and figs (planted into 0.5m pits), next to the Muslim Burial Area. This 3rd Year of planting also included a row of Five apple trees. Surrey Hills Woodland Symposium - COPSE had a stand in late-November, promoting our Fruitful Parishes Project, creating Community Orchard Spaces and Groups to manage the fruit trees, in Surrey Parishes.
