Cherry Aid
Over the last 50 years, we have lost 90% of our cherry orchards and now import around 95% of the cherries we eat. British Cherry Day on 19 July aims to raise awareness about how the public can help save the British cherry.
Cherries – with their cheery colour, glossy shine and fruity juiciness – are as much a part of our British treasury of fruit and vegetables as the apple.
But English Cherries are in a jam – in 50 years we’ve lost 90% of our Cherry orchards and now import around 95% of the Cherries we eat.
FoodLoversBritain.com has come to the rescue with CherryAid.
CherryAid is the campaign that unites all Cherry Lovers – chefs, Cherry growers, producers of Cherry-based food and drink, you, me – to save the British Cherry.
CherryAid aims to...
- Get everyone to bite into at least one British-grown Cherry this year
- Save our remaining traditional Cherry orchards
- Encourage the planting of new Cherry orchards
- Encourage producers to use British-grown Cherries
- Encourage chefs, restaurateurs and home-cooks to use British-grown Cherries
Find out what you can do - including buying British, renting or planting a cherry tree, and buying products such as beer and ice cream made from cherries - by visiting www.foodloversbritain.com
