Look forward to seeing you!

We have a good selection of apples though not a huge quantity of any one variety. We will be having a very scaled down Apple Day on Saturday 23rd October when there will probably be about 12 / 15 varieties of apple to try.
In the meantime, opening times this week are 11.30 – 4pm.

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!
