Blackmoor Apple Tasting 2014
Despite a year off there was a great turnout at Blackmoor Apple Tasting this year - thank you all who supported us this year and especially to those who gave up their time for apple cutting and for Alton Morris and the rural craft demonstrators who put on a great show as ever.
Of the wide range of apples and pears available for tasting Falstaff and Norfolk Royal Russet were particular favourites.
In total just under £10,000 was raised for local charities - a great achievement.
Apple tasting will be back on 11th October 2015. See you there!
