The brief spell of rain yesterday has helped some of the soft fruit to mature.

If you are familiar with how to use redcurrants and the blackcurrants, you might want to stop by the orchard soon. The birds are feasting on them and may not be willing to leave any for us humans! They’ve had a good time eating a lot of the whitecurrants already.

Please be aware that if you pick and eat fruit that isn’t ripe, it may cause illness and may also damage the plant. We recommend making yourself aware of how each fruit matures, and how to use it properly and safely before you eat it. Some fruit is best cooked before eating. All fruit should be washed before use.
