Overton Farm, Crossford, ML8 5QFClyde Valley Fruit Day is a celebration of all the wonderful things the Clyde Valley has to offer.
We have a marquee jam packed with local interest from Farmers Market to crafts, live music, kids' activities, food demos, apple pressing from our very own Clyde Valley Orchards Cooperative and so much more.
Of course, the Clyde Valley Orchards Cooperative will be showing us how it's done - pressing fresh, local apples into juice before your very eyes. Delicious free samples will be available and bottles of Clyde Valley apple juice will be available to buy.
School and family competition to decorate your own welly! Win a trip for the whole class or Afternoon Tea @ The Oven.
The Clyde Valley Orchard Cooperative would like to hear from any orchard owners in the Valley with excess apple crops. Crops provided for juice pressing will help raise funds for local Clyde Valley community initiatives.
