Orchardshare

OrchardShare is a community group, run by volunteers who work to conserve and maintain orchards to supply locally grown apples around Bath, UK.

Volunteer Workdays

Come along and help us look after our beautiful orchards. We have volunteer work sessions as follows:

Friday mornings throughout the year at Dry Arch Growers, 10am to 12.30pm.

Saturday afternoons during Autumn/Winter for harvesting/pruning at other orchards, 2 to 4pm.

Check our posts on twitter or facebook for further details.

See How To Find Us for details of where to meet.

What to Bring

Bring strong footwear, and working gloves if you have them. Work sessions are normally 2-3 hours. We'll have a break in the middle, so bring something for a picnic lunch. We usually have tea/coffee (and sometimes cake!) available. We may be able to reimburse your travel expenses.

Sessions may be cancelled if the weather is bad.

Ciderspace

Ciderspace is a new, and exciting, offshoot of Orchardshare. Apples harvested from local orchards, including those managed by Orchardshare, are juiced by hydropress for the production of apple juice for pasteurisation in bottles and cidermaking. This service is aimed at owners of small orchards with fruit surplus to requirement. Capacity is limited to 200 litres per day (approx 500 kg of fruit) at present. Please send enquiries about this venture to timjbaines@yahoo.co.uk.
