It’s apple time again. Marlborough Communities Market will be in the High Street again this Sunday (November 3) and will be joined by Richard Paget and his apple press.
Richard, from Warren Farm, Savernake – between Hungerford and Marlborough – provides a popular service under his My Apple Juice banner. Each year he turns hundreds of loads of apples, windfalls and all, into apple juice.
As he says: “Apple juice’s health benefits really do keep the doctor at bay. Just one 150ml glass counts as one of your 5-a-day. Your juice is made from your apples – nothing is added. What goes in comes out.”
“Every apple tree variety is different, so the taste of your juice will reflect the fruit of your garden.”
Bring along the last of those windfalls that blew down in the recent storm and you will take home apple juice that’s from your own garden. Start the day with a home grown breakfast drink.
Apart from apples galore, the Marlborough Communities Market will be supporting the usual list of small, local, artisan businesses which produce food, prepare street food, sell unique gifts and make craft items of exceptional quality. It’s in Marlborough High Street, from 10.00am to 3.00pm.
And in case there are some people who have never heard of this popular street market, the organisers are looking for Community Market Champions who could earn themselves £100 worth of Marlborough Communities Market Vouchers if they will put up one of the new signs advertising the market in one of four new and appropriately obvious sites.
Anyone with a good site to offer will have to agree to certain terms and conditions. If any Marlborough News Online reader knows a great location – be it a gate, fence, front wall, garden, field or verge – please do encourage the landowners to get in touch with Ellie Gill at marlboroughcommunitiesmkt@gmail.com
