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 Activities
![]() Come along and help us look after our beautiful orchards. There will be opportunities most Fridays and Saturdays this autumn, starting with:
See How To Find Us for details of where to meet. What to Bring Volunteer sessions are normally 2-3 hours. We'll have a break in the middle, so bring something for a snack. We usually have tea/coffee (and sometimes cake!) available. For autumn/winter pruning, bring strong footwear, and working gloves if you have them. For apple picking, just outdoor clothes appropriate for the time of year and perhaps a bag for apples. We rarely cancel sessions in bad weather! |
Next event: Apple Day October 2022
We will celebrating orchards and apples at our annual Orchardshare Apple Day, at Dry Arch Growers on Saturday 15 October. Come and relax at the orchard with music, apple cake and other tasty food, fresh apple juice and join in with the apple pressing.
Wellow Apple Day
Sunday 16 October 2022. We will be providing the equipment for Wellow community to juice their apples.
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.
