Orchards Live - Orchards Live

Covid-19 and Orchards Live.

Orchards Live regrets that all our meetings and courses have been cancelled until the end of August due to Covid-19 restrictions. We will reappraise the situation in September, so please check the website for updates. Autumn events are being added as we get notice of them. Meanwhile, do please join our Facebook group for up to date news, questions and answers, and all manner of orchard / apple / cider discussions. There's a link to that at the bottom of this page.
Join Orchards Live.

Help us to help you. Devon has lost most of its traditional orchards of large ‘standard’ trees - valuable because of their beauty, history, wildlife and rich variety of local apples. We are orchard enthusiasts in the northern half of Devon, and we have been reversing this decline with real achievements.
