Apples, apples, apples……………………..by Marleen

Cider barrels are ready and waiting

The apples are loaded onto the lorry

One of the October tasks at the donkey paradise is harvesting all the apples (the ones the donkeys haven’t eaten, that is). Fortunately, they leave enough for us to sell them to a cider factory in Nava. The money is always used to improve the living conditions of the animals.

Sadly, the apple trees produce fewer apples each year, as they need regular pruning. This year we harvested only about 4000 kilos, whereas last year we had more than twice this quantity.

If you are a good pruner, why not hop over to Asturias as a volunteer for a couple of weeks??
Your presence and your work would much be appreciated!!
