Drove past some orchards yesterday in Somerset/ Devon. The ground is red with fallen apples. Rivers of them between the trees.
This shit just got real
1/4 of a century ago I went to a Somerset cider farm. It had apple trees and a big apple press and great cider for tasting. Out the back though they had hundreds of drums of apple juice concentrate made in Israel.
Do you have a source to back up this claim?
Saw it with her own eyes 😂.
Nah. She's making it up.
I live in Somerset and have three apple trees which are all absolutely laden with apples....
Good thing they are cider makers not apple growers
My favorite brand is Dixon
