We are delighted that Highland and Islands Climate Hub has generously provided funding for Broadford & Strath Community Company to run Apple Day at Broadford Hall on Saturday 5th October from 2pm to 4pm. We hope to see as many of you there as possible. The event will be repeated at Achmore Hall on Saturday 12th October. There will be apple juicing, fruit displays and help with identifying your apple varieties, as well as a ReRoot market.
Catering will be covered by the local Croileagan Gaelic nursery in return for donations. Please bring fruit themed sweet and savoury things for them if you can! Colin Parsons will return with the fruit press, do bring your apples and some containers for the juice! I will run the apple display, so bring along as many varieties as you can for folk to see. I will also cover the information tables and be selling fruit trees through Drumfearn Trees. There a will be facepainting and art for the kids, thanks to generous support from the Highland Community Waste Partnership.
