  This article constructs examples of associative submanifolds in
$G_2$-manifolds obtained by resolving $G_2$-orbifolds using Joyce's generalised
Kummer construction. As the $G_2$-manifolds approach the $G_2$-orbifolds, the
volume of the associative submanifolds tends to zero. This partially verifies a
prediction due to Halverson and Morrison.
