On September 24th 2011 we held our first Apple and Pear Day. Everything came early this year and this was the peak day of our apple and pear season, with several varieties at their best and some plums still on the trees as well. We wanted to draw attention one of the last orchards in the area, and to encourage everyone who values English fruit to come to our farm and pick their favourite fruit straight from the trees.
The Apple and Pear Day was a great success. Many of our visitors told us that they never knew there was a working fruit farm so close to them, and over a hundred people picked as much as they could carry.
We also staged three competitions for fruit lovers and we will be publishing the results very soon so watch this space!
