Tesco and its fruit supplier Norman Collett are sponsoring Kent school kids to learn about apples.

They have shown 56 children from Goudhurst and Kildown Primary School around an orchard and will take them to the National Fruit Show on 17-18 October near Maidstone.

If the programme, which is part of the Year of Food and Farming, proves successful, it will be rolled into Tesco's Growing for Schools initiative, which connects kids with British produce.
