Ms. Que BanhGood morning, fine Fediverse folks 🌅
Did you know that we also grow #persimmons at Welland Community Orchard ?
This is the 1st year that I've seen several fruits on the persimmon trees in the #CommunityOrchard 😀

In 1931, a #Oregon nursery called #HudsonNursery made a new #apple discovery. A seed dropped in a hedgerow that produced a new variety of apple. They named the apple after their orchard - #HudsonsGoldenGem.
The Hudson Golden Gem #heirloom apple species is one of 125 heirloom apples that we grow at #WellandCommunityOrchard as community orchard park stewards/orchard caretakers for town the of #ViewRoyal in partnership with #LifecyclesProject society #nonprofit.
These apples taste like pears 🙂

Fig Jam & Canning Workshop!
Saturday, September 13, 12:30pm - 2:30pm.
Few things taste more luxurious than homemade fig jam — sweet, rich, and perfect on everything from toast to cheese boards.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of jam making and safe water bath canning, so you can preserve the taste of summer long after the season ends.
You’ll leave with:
✔ Your own jar of fresh fig jam
✔ A tested recipe to use at home
✔ New skills to keep the harvest going
Workshops are offered on a sliding scale, and proceeds support our work connecting people with local food systems.
