Seasonal News

Last Day for Apple Season Wednesday September 14th

Though the apples be gone, we feel fortunate for the memory of such a lovely season. We are especially grateful to Denis Oudard for his marvelous solar cooking demonstration, preparing us lunch and applesauce with his solar cookers.

The Applesauce Tasting and Solar Cooker Demonstration on September 10th by Chef Denis Oudard was such a great success we've decided to make it an annual event. Perhaps next year we shall make pies. For those who missed the event, here are the cookers. Albeit they are much more fun with Chef Oudard at the helm.

We, also, give heartfelt thanks to the concerned children who found the injured fawn in the orchard, and to Tim Summers of the Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary who came so promptly to take the little doe to the wildlife hospital.

A special thanks to the little girl who so gently brought us a little snake, now living happily at the orchard.

And, as always, we feel deep gratitude to our cheerful visitors who have made the one eyed pony happy and brave again, and whose visits make the whole orchard worthwhile.

The cats enjoyed greeting friends, old and new, so much, they can hardly wait until next year's apple season. And the big horses and Whinny-the-Pooh, the one-eyed pony rescued by the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, look forward to enjoying sunshine and visits (and carrots and cookies) soon again.

Who We Are

Hidden Hollow borders on Floyds Fork, a stream running through Oldham and Jefferson counties, near Louisville, Kentucky. The watershed provides a continuous green space connecting farmland, forests, parks and low density development as it meanders to the Salt River. Hidden Hollow is a refuge for abundant native wildlife at the edge of an major urban area. Its surprising diversity of flora and feathered and furry families inspired us to protect and enhance the habitat, and to pass along what we have learned to others who may have a similar opportunity.
