Seabright arms cider weekend

[Lewis McNeill]

Hi harvesters

 

There's a lovely pub called the Saebright arms near Hackney City Farm that are keen on cider and promoting real cider. They are holding a cider making weekend in Sep 30th where people will bring Hackney apples and process them into cider - with all contributors gaining a share of the cider in return.

 

I wondered if we might be able to organise a harvest prior to this to take along? I'm aware that the apple crop is particularly poor this year, bu there are still fruit bearing trees around - in fact I recently discovered a red apple laden tree in Dalston.

 

Please let me know if there is any energy or this, could be un and nice to make links with a pub interested in local produce.

Hi Lewis

I'd be interested in taking part - I saw an apple tree with fruit on in Dalston too, I wonder if it was the same one as you saw! There were apples last year in Wick Woods I wonder if there are any there this year?
