Pommes de Piddington - or Piddington apples

Pommes de Piddington are a growing group of villagers, many of whom have their own fruit trees, interested in the care of these trees and the planting of more - particularly the historic and traditional varieties that have flourished in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire in former times. Furthermore we would like to encourage the widest possible use of the fruit grown in the village.

Together we have talked about a number of ideas for the future including the following:

  • A village census of fruit trees and their varieties
  • Shared orchard ladders and fruit picking
  • Cider making
  • Piddington Apple Juice
  • A Piddington Apple Day
  • A village apple press

More often than not our discussions would start ‘Next year we should think about …’

In September 2015, with fruit already falling from the trees, we felt that we couldn’t let another season escape. We decided to ‘give it a go!’

If you have any questions, any ideas or would just like to get involved please contact David Cook at Gwith Cottage 01844 238368 or [email protected]
