Overwhelmed by help
Destroyed orchard in Mollram: everyone lent a hand
The severe storms in Lower Austria caused enormous damage to the Simon brothers' new orchard in Mollram near Neunkirchen. Clean-up work began at the weekend. Following an appeal on the Internet, numerous volunteers came to clear up the initial damage.
Christoph and Michael Simon, the owners of the orchard, were overwhelmed by the number of volunteers who spontaneously agreed to help. "There were always between 30 and 70 people on site to support us," says Christoph Simon. It wasn't just friends and acquaintances who came. Entire school classes and companies, even from Piesting and Stockerau, provided equipment and muscle power. "Some just came by and brought snacks and cake," says Simon.
The brothers do not yet know what will happen to their orchard. "That depends on what damage the insurance covers," says Christoph Simon. Nevertheless, he is now a little more positive about the future. "A week ago, we would never have thought we could do this," says the young fruit grower.
