Saturday, September 24th, 2016
11:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Join us for our annual fundraiser featuring the Pressing Matter Mobile Juicer. The press will be juicing fresh local apples and pears donated to the event and others picked in Filberg Park. Juice will be prepared and sold by the box so be sure to get here early and get yours while quantities last. Apple donations are welcome, please call 250.703.3572 to organize a drop-off to the Park.

The apple press may be the main attraction but it is not all this event has to offer. Keeping with the theme of backyard harvesting, there will be many local resources on hand offering insights and tips into managing your home garden and fruit trees along with inspiration for preparing and preserving your harvest at home.

Come for the fresh juice and stay for the live music by Fiddlejam, free kids activities, gourmet food from Pickled Carrot Food Truck, baking and snacks, an impressive community of knowledgable home harvesters. All of this and more, set in the scenic, waterfront destination of the stunning Filberg Park.
