Greetings to all, you are certainly curious how did the first harvesting trip to Normandie of this season 2024 went. This journey we have done together with Sara, who has helped us already with promotion and sale at previous events. We drove during the night to avoid the traffic in Germany, after the arrival we rested a bit and then we focused on organization and cleaning of our "base". We have swept and mopped both caravans as is our standard, we have set up and cleaned the fridge, connected both of the caravans to the electricity and installed temporary outdoor shower. We have also set up the dry toilet, did small shopping and the base was ready! The next day drove to do some spending in Cherbourg especially in la Cave à Fromages so we would have something tasty during our breaks. Their cheese selection is amazing, it is the only place I know off which has thirty six months old comté). During the afternoon we have visited all the orchards. The fall of apples is around two to three weeks early compared to normal. The next day we have started the harvest and steadily continued till Wednesday. The weather was nothing special but it was doable. On Tuesday we got some lovely sun, so we took our off day and went for a trip. We did a round trip of our region Cotentin, starting at the second war fortifications not too far from the Landemer cliffs, where we stopped for a "snack break" and walked the coastal path for a bit later on. After that we have passed the the nuclear waste recycling center center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Hague_site La Hague]. It is a huge colossus described in a humorous way by Dominique Gros in his book L'usine, histoire anecdotique de l'usine de la hague (I had just a peak in it). Our final stop were the Dunes of Biville. This place is really charming. We walked through the littoral zone natural reservation, then we crossed the dunes and at the end like a cherry on the cake "plunged" into the see. It was nice, quite an active off day.
Ale zpět k hlavnímu účelu naší návštěvy. Během našeho pobytu jsme nasbírali ??? tun jablek a sesbírali čtyři z pěti sadů. V tomto případě jsme nelisovali, ale dali jsme je kamarádovi výměnou za pomoc poději v sezóně s jablky, které jsou optimální pro "cidre bouché". Před odjezdem jsme základnu opravdu dobře připravili na druhý sklizňový výlet, který začně 20-21/10. Mise se podařila, bylo to fajn.
Co se týče komečních akcí, tak bych chtěl alespoň zmínit sedmý ročník Slavnosti Cideru v Praze Holešovicích v Cross Clubu. Počasí bylo skvělé, lidé přišli a v soutěži o nejoblíbenější cider jsme obsadili druhé místo za slovenským producentem Opre.
Až budete mít chvilku, tak se podívejte na náš online obchod. Nevypadá zatím nic moc, ale je již funkční, v rámci ČR můžete již s gustem obědnávat (plus Bratislava).
Přejeme Vám krásný podzim,
pro Kvasírnu Jara,
