Fireside at Apteds

Fireside at Apteds is a grant-funded evening created specifically for local farmers, growers, primary producers, farm workers and farming families.
Join us at Apteds Orchards for a generous seasonal dinner prepared by Hot Coals Catering, live acoustic music and a relaxed evening around the fire.
Farming and growing can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding and isolating. This evening is an opportunity to step away from the workload, enjoy genuinely good food and connect with others who understand agricultural life in our region.
There won’t be lengthy presentations or formal workshops. Relevant farmer wellbeing and support services will be available for brief introductions, informal conversations and discreet access to helpful resources.
Arrive while there’s still daylight to enjoy the orchard in blossom before settling in for dinner.
