The scent of apples when you enter the room will take your soul on a journey. Last year, we had 262 varieties all grown organically on Salt Spring Island, arranged alphabetically and all with detailed labels. The task of setting up the collection is performed the night before by a team of about 30 island volunteers, ranging in age from children to senior citizens, who consider this one of the highlights of their year.<\/p>\n<h3>The Weather &#8211; and Critters!<\/h3>\n<p>Salt Spring Islanders love their apples and are delighted to show visitors our apple diversity. The weather affects the apple crops &#8211; at Apple Festival 2006 there were 296 varieties, but with a very cold, wet spring in 2007, some varieties did not produce a crop in 2007. In 2008 the 300 variety barrier was broken for the first time, and in 2012, an outbreak of the tent caterpillar devastated many apple crops. This critter creates a tent in which hundred caterpillars can live in safety while they devour the tree&#8217;s leaves and flowers. The tent caterpillar it has a 7 year cycle, and in 2013 the apple crop was better but we are hoping 2014 will be a bumper year. This festival is farm based, connecting you to the organic farmers on Salt Spring. They are your best guarantee of food quality and good health. <strong>The Salt Spring Apple Festival Proceeds go to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Development of a juicing facility on Salt Spring<\/li>\n<li>Annual $500 bursary given to someone on Salt Spring, to support practical learning in the field of organic agriculture.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting the education of a third world child<\/li>\n<li>Up to $100 going towards thanking in the best possible manner, a local\u00a0who has made Salt Spring a better place to live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re heading to Salt Spring Island Apple Festival on Sunday October 4, 2015!
