How does Fruits of Athelney work?

​

• We link up with people who have apple trees and surplus fruit.

• We pick and collect the fruit.

• We make several varieties of juice (around 700 bottles a year). And it's all delicious! We sell it at the North Curry Community Coffee Shop and the village shop.

​

• We organise juicing days at a central point, where people can bring their surplus apples, press them and bottle the juice.

• We also invite people to hire our equipment to press their apples.

​

It's great fun and very rewarding. At the same time, it helps:

​

• Growers with surpluses, even very small ones

• Consumers, who get to buy fresh local produce

• Our village shops, which can broaden their product range

• The environment, by cutting food miles
