Plums 2021
It won’t be long before the 2021 plum season starts. The first varieties – Prolifics and Opals are reasonably plentiful and are likely to be ready in 10 / 14 days. Watch this space!!
Plum blossom
The plum blossom is turning the orchard white and we’ll now just hope that the frost keeps away. If you would like to walk round the orchard, we’d be happy to see you either tomorrow afternoon (Friday) or any time on Saturday. Ideal for photographers or anyone who just wants to stretch their legs.
Fruit update March 2021
Hello everyone,
After a bountiful season last year, we’re wondering what this year will bring. Some trees have suffered from the winds but generally all is looking good in the orchard and the blossom will be flowering fairly soon. We have still got Bramley and Newton Wonder apples – both cookers. They have stored well and are lovely and ripe and tasty. We have decided to open from 1 – 5pm this coming Saturday, 20th March and Sunday 21st March to give you the opportunity to refill your freezers. They are both 50p a lb. Look forward to seeing you!

Apples update 15/10/20
There is now the widest variety of apples available that we will have this year. Saturday will be buzzing here as there is a free to enter Dress 4 Less event in The Woodpecker (11-5pm) where there will be a very wide selection of clothes (sizes 8-50) and accessories – some new and others good quality pre loved. This event is raising money to plant daffodil bulbs in surrounding villages There will also be second hand books for sale, raising money for White Ladies Aston Church. So, if you’re thinking of visiting us for apples in the near future, Saturday would be a good day to come. We’ll be open 9 – 6pm.
Apple Saturday 2020
Our Apple Day is this coming Saturday, October 10th from 10 – 6pm. There will be around 45 different apples to taste as well as this year’s apple juice. Paul will be giving walking tours of the orchard at 11am and 2pm but booking is required as groups can only be of 6. More times can be added if demand warrants it. The weather forecast is looking good so we hope to see you!
Apple update 27th September 2020
Most of our apple varieties are now ready to pick and by our Apple Day on Saturday 10th October, there should be about 50 varieties for you to try. Apples are going for juicing this week so there’ll be apple juice to try before you buy too.
