Adding Value to Meadow Orchards – The Domestic Apple

In order to make people aware of the importance of meadow orchards for environment conservation and of the positive effects of fruit in one’s diet, lectures were carried out along with an exhibition of old fruit varieties and a demonstration of cutting old apple trees was prepared. The event entitled “The Delicacies of Slovenian Farms” in Ptuj hosted presentations of 67 exhibitors and their fruit products. By planting high-stem saplings seven meadow orchards were revived in the LAG area and a brochure was issued containing various recipes for apple dishes.

Lead partner: the Celje Agriculture and Forestry Institute with the Šentjur and Slovenske Konjice branches.
