Can you sign up to do a shift from 8.30 to 11, or from 11 to 1.30? Tasks include setting up the stall and packing away at the end; selling apples; chopping apples and working the juice press.
Last Saturday we had a very good response from the Bath Farmers Market shoppers, who rated our apple juice "excellent" and "delicious", and contributed a total of £35 in donations to Broadlands OrchardShare. We sold plenty of apples and gained one new apple tree sponsor.
7 volunteers ran the stall and we had a very busy morning in the lively market atmosphere.

Wild Foods Foraging Course
The founders of selfsufficientish.com will be offering day courses in foraging in the Bristol area in September and October. The course is meant to highlight the many edible plants growing right under our noses, from widely known foods like the blackberry to others that are more surprising and bizarre. Learn where these plants came from, how they have been used through the years, and how you can use them in your daily life today.
The course sets off from St Werburgh's City Farm Café and runs from 10am-4pm. Expect a long walk and a short local train ride. Weather-proof clothing and walking boots are recommended. Be sure to book in advance.
There is no set cost*, and payment is accepted in cash or cheque.
For more information, or to book your place, please contact one of the self-sufficientish co-founders: andy@selfsufficientish.com or dave@selfsufficientish.com. Full details are also available at the course website. Places are being snapped up quickly, so book early to avoid disappointment!
*Selfsufficientish.com asks only that you pay what you think the forage is worth or what you are able to afford. However, please bear in mind that there are bills to pay, so the course cannot be offered for free. Comparable courses vary in price from approx. £30-100.
