Starting in September 2007, the 'Year of Food and Farming' aims to involve all schools in England. This will link with a whole range of initiatives such as the 'Healthy Schools Standard', 'Learning Outside the Classroom Manifesto' and 'Strategy for Sustainable Food and Farming', to give a single focus to schools.
This is an invitation for schools, farmers, parents, support organisations and most importantly children to take part

Seasonal Celebrations of English Apples and Cider in the Herefordshire Parishes of the Marcle Ridge
Twice a year the parishes of the Marcle Ridge-Much Marcle with Aylton, Little Marcle, Munsley, Pixley, Putley and Woolhope – celebrate their heritage of apples and pears, cider and perry.
Blossomtime
In Springtime there is a unique blend of orchards in blossom and traditional cider tasting. The Annual Cider and Perry Trials are now an established event for craft cider and perry makers from the region (and beyond) and set a very high standard which gets higher every year.
Autumntime
In Autumn the harvest is celebrated whilst pressing the fruit for the next year’s vintage is under way. This event has also grown from humble beginnings and now attracts hundreds of visitors every year www.bigapple.org.uk
