The Heritage Orchard
This 9-acre site was first planted circa 1900.  It was grubbed in the mid 80’s and used for arable crops.  Re-planting started in January 2005 with a range of varieties, many dating back to the Victorian times or earlier.

Apple Juice
  • We started pressing our own Apple Juice in 1996.
  • The single variety juices have become increasingly popular over the years and we have been able to expand our range as new Orchards have been planted.
  • The process involves grinding the Apples to pulp before pressing in a hydraulic press.  The juice is then bottled into 33cl and 75cl bottles and pasteurised.  Vitamin C is added to prevent discolouration.  There are no other additives.
  • Apples are allowed to properly ripen on the tree before picking to ensure that they develop their full flavour.  Apples used for Juice are pressed as soon as possible after picking.
Juice available (2015):
Egremont Russet 
Rubinette 
Royal Gala
Red Pippin
Jonagold
Falstaff
Cox
Ashmeads Kernel
Jupiter
Braeburn
Adams Pearmain

Wholesale

Although many of our Heritage Orchard Apple varieties are grown on a small scale and are only available through our Farm Shop, other varieties such as Cox and Bramley apples are grown on a larger scale and we are able to supply other outlets.

We are East Anglia’s largest plum producer and wholesale both locally and further afield..We have supplied all the Major Supermarkets over the last 15 years but this is an ever-decreasing proportion of our business. 

We supply many local village shops, Farm Shops and Pubs with Apple juice, Cider and Fruit and we welcome wholesale enquiries from a local or National level.
