Apple Picking season is here! Our FTVs Isabel and Richard went with Countryside Manager Pete Carty and Volunteers Pete and Dick to Dudmaston yesterday to pick apples. Some of these will be made into delicious apple cake in the Tea Room, and some will be stored for the crafts day next weekend when they will be pressed to make apple juice!

Apple picking is a delicate task, as the apples will not store if they are bruised. They are picked off the trees only when ripe using special equipment, then stored in pallets in a clean, dry shed.
