Glou Morceau Pear - Originates from Belgium and is a traditional desert pear. The flesh is soft and buttery with a rich sweet flavour.
Picture
Ida Red - A good keeper with attractive colour and mild apple taste.
Picture
D’arcy Spice - Essex 1785. Hot, spicy and almost nutmeg-like flavour by New Year, fairly sharp but sweetens.
Picture
Pixie - Small apple with a big flavour. The parentage is unknown but is thought to be Cox Orange Pippin or Sunset. Juicer and crisper than a Cox.

Apple & pear season is in full swing and we have many different varieties in the shop this week.

New in this week:

Falstaff
Fashionable bright colour and juicy, crunchy texture - a well rounded apple!
Picture
Jupiter
One of the best cox-style varieties. Slightly more robust and sharper in flavour than Cox.
Picture
Rubinette
A handsome rich flavoured apple which is rarely grown due to horticultural difficulties so it is hard to find on the commercial market. A popular apple amongst our farm shop customers!
Picture
Jonagold
A crisp eater with a rich honeyed flavour.
