Equinox Weekend planting frenzy!!!
Saturday, Mar. 22nd & Sunday, 23rd, 2025 @ 12:00am

The plan is to plant all kinds of everything to mark the Spring Equinox 2025, with a small social gathering from around 5pm on the Saturday evening.

This Open to all & FREE Activity is led by Elaine who will also explain her vision for the project if anyone wants a tour. This is a great opportunity to bring along potential (and seriously needed) new Shareholders to see what collective action can achieve.

Future Orchard's Harvest social
Saturday, Oct. 14th, 2023 @ 3:00pm

Apple Juicing led by Chris TROY. Using the traditional scratter and press, Chris will demonstrate and invite participation from all and anyone interested.

For Children ... Pumpkin Carving ... we will do our best to make this a fun event with fabulous scary carved monsters. The wonderful Linda Brindly will lead. Any support is welcome. If you want to bring Pumpkins or Apples please do.

The neighbouring Spa project will have the Sauna fired up for a FREE TRIAL ... so bring a Towel etc. if you wish to partake.

At our recent AGM it was felt that it is important to get people out to enjoy the site. We still have to keep this year's event controlled as our new entrance is not yet open and the road is increasingly dangerous. Therefore we will not advertise this on facebook. It is only for our own membership, friends and people expressing an interest in joining. We really need to pick up a few new shareholders to keep the ongoing wheels of expenses oiled; and someone might join us if they see the wonderful potential that is at our site.

Future Orchard Trust AGM
Thursday, Jan. 18th, 2024 @ 7:15pm

This will be held at Upper Glamire Community Centre's Geo Dome.

We have decided to go for an evening and this works best as there is lighting, parking, toilets and tea making facilities. Also better Zoom potential ... see pics of the venue below.
