25.01.2022 Lots of blossom and plenty bees! Apple season looking good this year.

24.01.2022 New season apples ripening -first Royal Gala to be disturbed to gate sales and local shops soon! Following on other varieties in late February/March. Cool climate causes late ripening. It’s like any fruit, location has a major factor. The orchard is organic, no chemicals.... Yates Dipel has been used for codling moth which is organic measures as well as other measures like molasses. Anyway I really hope hope you savour this Apple season from this orchard that has been producing for over 100 years! We pride to provide fruit fresh annually. See more

23.01.2022 The orchard is now dormant until new season. Pruning to commence next few months and netting so we can provide fruit from birds taking away!

22.01.2022 Upcoming Apple season will benefit from this!

19.01.2022 We are sorry to advise that cockatoos have taken whole orchard produce this year. Scareguns shut down due to fire restrictions therefore they had a feast! Next season netting will be in place to protect abundant producing trees.

19.01.2022 Pruning commenced on unproductive area - Red Declious and awesome apples not like supermarket!

16.01.2022 New season apples developing!

15.01.2022 Trees loving frosty conditions to set fruiting buds. Let’s hope for a productive upcoming year to supply organic apples to all

14.01.2022 Keep posted for some amazing fruits to happen. Nashi’s in blossom. Hard pruning but apples should be good as what’s delivered this year.

11.01.2022 Oh well, white cockatoo's have basically destroyed orchard! In dawn when asleep can't operate scare gun then... They are a protected animal but so destructive??

10.01.2022 Apples ripening codling free, the work has paid off! Enjoy our apples available locally at stores Cheshunt region, gate sale (if people get honest) otherwise house sales!

10.01.2022 The neglected orchard but certain areas getting a well deserved prune! Buds appearing - Springtime not too far away:)

07.01.2022 We have some exciting new plans in place - pick your fruit from 10 varieties when ready as we only sell fresh produce off the tree with no chemicals.

07.01.2022 Springtime pruning to commence before healthy fruit buds appear as not to destroy upcoming crop. Why have springtime growth just more work. We have sourced some amazing netting as only thing to keep birds out!

04.01.2022 Apple developing organic methods working!

04.01.2022 We are putting out offers from anyone that may like to resurrect a neglected orchard in organic measures. There have been no chemicals used here for 8 years. The orchard has established trees of 10 varieties and I'm afraid it's just too much for me to upkeep! Please contact if interested.

03.01.2022 There are 10 varieties and orchard established in 1895 with 1 King Cole tree 125 years old. Upcoming season commences February with Royal Gala. The orchard has a few feral trees but I am trying!! I sell to public and not commercial business but your welcome to pick your own. From my brief understanding varieties planted to assist with pollination and working.... Biggest problem is keeping birds out!!! Royal Gala Golden Delicious Red Delicious (Some difference in them) Pink Lady Braeburn Jonathan Lady William Granny Smith Mutsu King Cole That’s the varieties. Look forward to seeing you! Please watch my page for updates See more

03.01.2022 The orchard a buzz with Acorn tree harbouring!

03.01.2022 Keep posted for trees regeneration. A neglected tree will produce as they want to fruit on partially dead limbs but need to go for health of tree.

03.01.2022 So sorry but the orchard was destroyed this season from wildlife! Netting in place for next production to provide organic apples and fruit! Does anyone want to help with netting work over productive trees?

01.01.2022 Organic spraying to commence on these little marble size apples!Organic spraying to commence on these little marble size apples!
