Volunteers from across Leicestershire are being asked to lend their support to Bottesford-based Belvoir Fruit Farms during the elderflower harvest season this month (June), as demand for its cordial, driven by at-home consumption, soars by 15%.
Local families and workers who have been made redundant or put on furlough are just some of the people Belvoir Fruit Farms are calling upon to pitch in and hand pick the many wild elderflowers growing across the Vale of Belvoir.
Elderflowers will be purchased from pickers by the kilogram, making it both great outdoor exercise and an ideal way to top up earnings for those whose income has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic- you could earn £50 for around four hours work in the sunshine.
