Sunday October 4th – cancelled
Hi, we are sorry to announce that due to lack of bookings and RSVPs we are cancelling the day tomorrow. We will be running the press for VG apples but there will be no food or hosting. Please look at https://vivekagardens.com/ for other events here and you can sign up for the newsletter here, https://vivekagardens.com/newsletter/ Hope to see you another time soon, Fiona
11 – 3.30
Bring your apples and your family to a community apple pressing day, uniting Coldridge, West & East Leigh, North Tawton and surrounding villages. Please note the apple pressing is for households, not businesses or charities. There are 30-minute slots to ensure fair use.
Autumnal activities, including cake, drinks, soup and bread by donation.
We’ll be raising money for Okehampton Food Bank and Care4Calais
Everyone welcome, even if you don’t have apples to press. There will be apples and juice to take away. Bring containers for juice and boxes/bags for apples.
We’re looking for volunteers to help with the pressing too (it’s fun).
Be in touch if you would like a slot to book.
If you have glass bottles it may be possible to pasteurise your juice. However, the pasteurising process can be a bottle neck (!) as it takes a while. Some people take juice away in flagons for cider making.
How to get here – not difficult but worth preparing and PLEASE DON’T BOTHER THE NEIGHBOURS FOR DIRECTIONS
Suggested minimum £5 donation for a slot. Contributions of cake and nice loaves welcome.
RSVP – it really helps manage the day if we know the numbers!
Volunteer Apple Picking Day
Come and pick apples on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October ready for juicing at the Viveka Gardens Orchard Day the next day.
Fresh air, lovely vegan lunch, and apple cake, nice time, take lovely eaters, including russets, home with you.
Probably good to bring wellies for uneven ground, layers of clothing to put on and off as you work then take a break and there is shelter in case of showers. Please complete this form to join
