Hugh's created a very simple way to get an orchard for your school. "Our bigger ideas are often limited by financial constraints, but with Fruitshare we have overcome this. We can't thank local business Francis Clarke enough for helping us to crowdfund trees for the school," said Daniel Hadley, teacher and sustainability officer at the Archbishop Benson School in Truro, Cornwall. Around a third of the 160,000 children at hundreds of schools will soon be growing fruit thanks to Crowdfunder - get involved! All the recipes from River Cottage to the Core, which are based on plates from Hugh's latest book River Cottage Fruit Every Day!, are available to download online. So if you fancy a go at Hugh's fruity fridge flapjacks this weekend, download the recipe! One of our Fruitshare friends, Abel & Cole, just love apples. Their king of the orchards, Paul Ward, grows crab apples to help pollinate all the apples that go in their weekly organic fruit & veg boxes. Normally these crab apples go to waste (or are hoovered up by Paul's greedy dog Murphy). Abel & Cole love to think up new ways of reusing and recycling, so their customers can get free crab apples this week in a tombola or with their organic whisky, for a homemade autumnal spirit. Not already an Abel & Cole customer? Use the code GOODFOOD to get their cookbook with your first order and your 4th box free here. Inspired by the TV series and Hugh's new recipes? Wish you could visit River Cottage HQ and meet Hugh? Then don't miss a very special event on Wednesday 4 December featuring Hugh cooking up some of his new recipes followed by a sumptuous fruity three-course feast. The book that inspired Fruitshare and Channel 4's River Cottage to the Core is less than half price this morning. Order your copy of River Cottage Fruit Every Day! from our online shop. Our Fruitshare project is making a real difference across Britain. Cornish Chartered Accountants Francis Clark has backed five schools in their local community through Fruitshare. "Supporting the local community is very important to us so when Crowdfunder approached us about Fruitshare it made perfect sense" said David Bullen.
