Cash in your Apple Windfalls at Killavullen Farmers Market HarvestFair this Saturday

Cash in your Apple Windfalls at Killavullen Farmers Market HarvestFair this Saturday



Bring your windfall apples to Killavullen Farmer's Market Saturday 25th August, and each subsequent market to get them juiced. Bruised apples and slightly damaged ones are all fine for juicing, just make sure to wash them to get rid of grit and dirt before juicing. We will shred and press your apples for you so just make sure you have enough bottles and containers for your juice! Advice on how to store it and other questions will be free flowing on the day! It's €1.50 per litre to press. There should be juice by the glass on the day too.

The return of apple pressing coincides with the annual Harvest Fair where we celebrate and showcase an array of great local fresh produce. You will be able to speak to the growers and buy the very best of local produce on the morning. There will be an array of incredibly delicious tomatoes, baking, breads, jams, chutneys, cordial, Ice cream, smoked salmon and of course all the usuals! Fair, 


On the same morning there is a very interesting Pollinator Hunt for kids to learn all about how bees and insects help us so much in growing food. Spots are limited and it is advised to book yours through https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/childrens-pollinator-hunt-tickets. This runs from 11-12 noon and is suitable for primary school kids!
