Final apple count - 14 tons juiced!!! We're very proud to have prevented so many apples from going to waste and people will be enjoying their juice and cider for the months to come. Rachel pasteurised around 2000 bottles of juice for other people and some of her juice is now in The Forge Farm Shop in Ripon, Langtons in Ripon, Weetons in Harrogate and Newby Farm Shop in Boroughbridge. The first barrels of 2010 Old Slippage Cider have been bottled and at the moment, the only place you'll find it is behind the bar at Great Northern Wines in Ripon.
We have 5 new courses added to our programme this year, Food and Medicine from the Hedgerow and 4 Preserving the Harvest workshops focusing on Rhubarb, Berries, Vegetables and Apples. See the Courses and Events page for details of these and all our other courses.
We are still able to accommodate group visits under the LAND scheme, if you are a voluntary group of more than 10 people you could claim your travel expenses in order to have a guided tour around the farm. See www.permaculture.org.uk/land
