7 October 2007 - Broad Oak community orchard near Sturminster Newton.

A visit to the Dorset Wildlife Trust Apple Day event. The orchard was gifted to DWT in 1979.

There was plenty to see and buy. Dorset Apple cake, Apple Juice, Dorset cider and more.

Rosies cider being prepared. A few shots showing the stages of pressing the apples.

The machine on the right produces the pulp to go in the press.

The juice running out of the press.

Our grandson took an apple along for identification. It was taken away for analysis. We await the outcome!

Some old musical instruments being demonstrated.

Children’s pictures decorating some of the trees.

These are Belle de Boskoop apples. We were allowed to pick some to take home.

Waiting to be made into cider
