An Apple a Day: “Everything You Want To Know About Apples”
September 19th, 2016

General Meeting
Speaker: Heidi Behan
Location: Trinity United Church
Time: 7:00pm, Meeting at 7:30pm

Many members filled the hall to learn about apples and Heidi Brehan from Moore Orchards didn’t disappoint! She not only told us about the ins and outs of apple farming,
but she had many humorous on site stories to share as well.
There were lots of questions and some great answers.
At break, we all sampled some wonderful fresh apple cider and everyone had a fresh ‘from the trees’ Honey Crisp apple. Yummy! There were some apples left and they just might appear on the table at the October meeting! Who knows?!
Thank you to Jill Cockerell, Jenn Rutledge, Brenda Latulippe, and Kim Gunn for the wonderful snacks. It was quite a spread!

 

Speaker Information:
Moore Orchards is an award-winning, family owned and operated fruit farm. They grow apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb and pears. Apple cider and apple cider vinegar are both made on site, as are pies and preserves (all are available in their on-farm retail space.)

Their fruit is grown with the environment in mind, thus they use Integrated Pest Management strategies. This well-run family orchard has won the National “Apple Grower of the Year” competition three times at the Royal winter Fair! The love of growing tasty, healthy fruit to feed family, friends and customers is what keeps this couple farming.
