The Pumpkin fest was a very enjoyable milestone in the “incredible villages” project, aimed at producing candied fruit from locally grown pumpkins, fruits and berries. This project helps to offer a new perspective for the people in their transition from coal mining towards more eco-friendly alternatives.
