Apples & Borscht
//
Rural Media’s exciting new Herefordshire-wide food and video project Apples & Borscht / Yabluka ta Borshch (Яблука та борщt) showcases and celebrates the shared lives of Ukrainians living in our county and the Herefordians welcoming them into their homes
Creating hope from tragedy, these communities are sharing traditions and customs that show how two cultures can unite and thrive together. Key to this new unity is food - the heart and soul of daily life - and Apples & Borscht will host a series of events around the county for people, local and Ukrainian, to come together and share recipes, rituals and customs that use food as a reason to gather people together.
Cooking, eating and celebrating will be filmed, photographed and captured for a new website that will bring all the inspiring cultural sharing together online so everyone can learn about food and traditions from the Ukraine and Herefordshire and how the two are combining to make new traditions of their own as they forge new lives here.
Cooking and sharing events will include Forest Schools open fire cooking, Beefy Boys Ukrainian Evening, Cider Tour at Oliver Cider Farm, Bread Making in Tarrington, Sweet Pastries and Biscuit Making in Ross-on-Wye and Golubsti in Leominster
The website will launch at a special event on Dec 12th - watch our social media channels or sign up to our e-newsletter to find out more
