When Kate stumbled upon an orchard five years ago, she had no idea what it could become.

“It was barricaded with locks, you could see maybe one or two apples far out of reach. And I was like: 'I want it.'”

The orchard has given them more than just apples. “A lot of the time, you don’t know your neighbours when you speak to them. But when you say to them: 'Hey, do you want a bag of apples?' Yeah, they’ll think you’re weird, but you’ll also make a friend.”
