Serving Amelia, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties
Piedmont SWCD equipment manager Lindy Hamlett cored, quartered and inspected the apples before they went into the cooker at the Prince Edward County Cannery Tuesday, November 30th. Piedmont SWCD staff made applesauce from a bushel of Nelson County golden delicious apple to auction at the Virginia Association of Conservation District’s Annual Meeting fund raiser in December. No sugar added, none needed!
