Why hosting a community apple day can transform your local food landscape
In short: Huw Richards hosts a local permaculture group for an apple day, demonstrating how sharing resources like apple presses can turn surplus harvests into community connection. This event highlights the practical benefits of collective gardening and skill-sharing for those without their own equipment.
The event at the smallholding featured approximately 30 apple trees, yet the abundance of fruit brought by attendees meant the farm's own harvest remained untouched. By providing access to an apple press, the gathering allowed participants to process their own juice, showcasing how community-led initiatives can maximize local food production.
Angie Polkey, a permaculture teacher, joins the discussion to explore the broader significance of these gatherings. Beyond the immediate utility of juicing, such events foster knowledge exchange and strengthen the social fabric of the permaculture community.
