Wild Community Harvest Freezer

We will create a wild fruit harvest store, in a freezer, ready for
community production sessions on in September.

can pick and store your harvest in the wild community harvest freezer.
This harvest will then be processed later in the month. Blackberries,
elderberries, hawthorn, crab apples, etc. We intend to make whole food
preserves with organic ingredients where possible so that everyone can
enjoy the benefits of healthier foods.
