Fire, Fable and Feast

Deep in the hills, the summer spirits sleep amongst the apple trees ready to be awakened. Join them to worship the seasons. Eighty five years ago Giovanni Della-Franca (Jack) brought with him traditions and folklore from Northern Italy. This fable was sewn in the soil with the first apple tree planted at Core Cider and through four generations, Jack's stories live on. Fire Fable and Feast heralds the end of icy frost and long cold nights, welcoming new life to the orchard. Together, bask in the glow of this new season as they release and awaken the trees. From sticks to blossoms, and blossoms to apples, let there be a bountiful harvest ahead! In the dark of night they will awaken the trees with chants and drums, dance and song, bask in the cleansing flames and watch embers carry winter away. So don your wildest finery and join them to worship the seasons on this night of nights.
