October Events
Apple Swap
Saturday 4th October, Trenchmore Farm, Burnt House Lane, Horsham, RH13 8DG 11am – 4pm
The exchange rate this year is 12kg for a 330ml Cowfold Cider bottle OR pint OR 500ml takeaway from the tap
Please bring your own bottle to fill up from the tap, or we can sell you one. We can give you a voucher to collect your cider over the next year, if it is too much for you in one go.
To swap apples for cider, just turn up with your fruit – we will check them and weigh them and give you cider or vouchers in return. There is no need to book or let us know you’re coming, and you can take your apple container home with you.
We love all types of apples no matter shape, size or container – bins, buckets or bowler hats will do.
The only exception to this are Bramleys – we won’t be able to take any Bramley apples this year as they are too acidic and block the filters on our apple press. We apologise if this is all you grow – they’re not good for our cider, but luckily great for apple pie…
We serve burgers and cider on the farm every Saturday, so please join us for lunch if you’re dropping off fruit.
