What do you do with all that fruit?

So that everyone can enjoy the beauty of the Orchard, fruit tasting and picking is not an Orchard Days activity. The fruits and vegetables grown at Filoli are made into butters sold at the Clock Tower Shop, pressed into hard cider available at the Bluebird Bar, and are donated to local food banks.
