ABOUT US

"Why do we need so many kinds of apples? Because there are so many folks. A person has a right to gratify his legitimate taste. If he wants twenty or forty kinds of apples for his personal use, running from Early Harvest to Roxbury Russet, he should be accorded the privilege… there is merit in variety itself. It provides more contact with life, and leads away from uniformity and monotony.” Liberty Hyde Bailey, American agriculturalist, early 1900’s

We are a small scale family nursery which specialises in bare rooted heirloom and modern fruit trees, suitable for both backyard gardens, and small orchards. We offer a larger range of varieties – both heritage and modern, and focus on varieties that are rich in flavour and texture, rather than those ones which have been bred only with consideration to suitability for cool storage and transportation.

There are said to be about 7,500 varieties of cultivated apples in the world, and most of us only ever manage to see about five of them on our supermarket or grocery shelves. What about all the others?  We grow about one hundred of them in our orchard on the farm, and offer some of these each year.

We hope you enjoy the new online catalogue, and find something to your taste. Happy gardening, and may the Spring rains be favourable to you this season.
