There will also be signposts around the pick your own fields.

Please ensure you do not walk past any No Entry signs or roped off areas as we are a working farm and machinery may be operating.

You are welcome to use our containers that you may have bought from us in previous years. They are very durable, and you can use them again and again.

Should you bring another container we will have to weigh it before entry enabling us to deduct the right amount from your final purchase.

Yes, you will be required to pay for any containers when entering the fields. Containers purchased are non-refundable, only take what you need, you can always pick up more if needed.

No. Growing fruit takes time, money and a lot of care, please respect our workforces efforts by paying for all your fruit picked before consuming it. Many Pick Your Own farms have now closed because of customer consumption prior to paying.

We recommend washing your fruit prior to consumption.

Yes - You are welcome to check the cost of your fruit during your visit to ensure you don't over spend. Please make sure children are supervised so they are picking ripe edible fruit.

Please do not dispose of fruit in the field - this encourages pests and diseases which can have a detrimental affect on the rest of the crop.

For maximum shelf life try to avoid handling the red flesh. Instead, pinch the stalk off between your thumbnail and forefinger. Leave the stalks in until just before serving. As with all fruits, pick only ripe ones – they taste better!

The Storing and freezing website may contain information of interest to PYO customers. However we recommend consuming or processing our fruit as soon as possible to enjoy them at their best!

No, some areas are off limits – we will sign post areas that are off limits. Please do not pass signs, fences etc as these are in place for your health and safety.

Picnics are not allowed anywhere on the farm.

The Bee Shed Coffee House provides delicious breakfast, lunch and coffee and cakes. The Bee Shack is also operating in the animal area on peak days serving takeaway drinks, cakes and scooped ice cream!

 A chance to experience fruit growing first hand as part of a family run, commercial fruit growing enterprise.

As part of your experience you will be invited to the farm for a guided tour at Blossom time in Spring. During your visit you may wish to spend your £10 voucher in the farm shop or cafe which is sent out at the beginning of the season. As we approach harvest you will be sent a virtual harvest walk to let you know what to do with your apples and also an insight into what we do with ours! You will also have the opportunity to taste a selection of our apple juices and cider from The Bee Shed Coffee House.

Depening on the package you choose you will then be able to pick the fruits of our labour;

1. 5kg of Apples - includes up to 5kg of apples from our PYO orchard (multi variety including Lathcoats Red, Joyce's Choice, Braeburn and more)

2. Your very own Cox apple tree - includes all the fruit from your allocated tree (usually in excess of 10kg)

3. Your very own Bramley apple tree - includes all the fruit from your allocated tree (usually in excess of 13kg)

The exact dates will depend on the season but the first will be during blossom time (April/May). We will then allocate rented trees in July/August when you will be able to visit as much as you like during opening hours to see how your tree is progressing. Finally harvest is usually anytime in September when we will have your tasting flights available in The Bee Shed Coffee House. When you sign up your email address and name will be added to a mailing list. This is how we will communicate with you when the exact dates will be.

Make sure you add our marketing email address (messages+ywrdrb90m32ay@squaremktg.com) to your 'email address book' to ensure our communications don't end up in your junk box!

Of course, but we hope that the visits will make it a richer experience.

Anyone who is interested in farming, supporting local business, learning about fruit growing and of course those who enjoy eating and cooking apples!

For the guided tour (for 2 people), newsletters, apple juice and cider tasting (for 2 people), £10 voucher and :

1. 5kg of Apples is £32.50

2. To rent a Cox apple tree is £42.50

3. To rent a Bramley apple tree is £47.50

Visit our booking page to register for the Orchard Experience.

Registrations will open around mid-October to the 31st March - The Orchard Experience then runs from April to October.

If you have purchased a rent a Cox or Bramley tree it will be allocated towards the end of July when the fruit has set.

If you have purchased 5kg of apples you will not be allocated a tree - you will potentially visit the PYO Orchard during the walks, however come October you will be given access to the PYO orchard to harvest your apples.

We cannot say for sure until much nearer the time but it usually takes place towards the end of April or beginning of May.

We will send an email to registrants and a booking link to sign up for Blossom Walk sessions around mid to late April, if you are expecting to receive an email and haven't been contacted by mid-April please get in touch via info@eapples.co.uk.

Make sure you add our email address (messages+ywrdrb90m32ay@squaremktg.com) to your 'email address book' to ensure our communications don't end up in your junk folder.

You might, but you might not!

As commercial fruit growers in the last few years we have experienced bumper crops, failed crops and average crops. By joining the Orchard Experience you are buying into these risks, but also hopefully learning more about fruit growing - the highs and the lows! Any apples on your tree at harvest time are yours to pick and keep. We can supply bags and boxes from the farm shop.

For those signed up to 5kg of Apples we should always be able to meet these expectations with the number of spaces sold (unless there is a complete disaster!).

Yes, for a short while, but the best advice is not to try and store it too long. How well the fruit keeps will depend on the growing conditions during the season. Some years it may store very well, other years not at all well. You’ll learn more about this during the year if you are able to join in the orchard visits. The best thing to do if you have a lot of fruit is to share with friends, cook, process or freeze.

Yes, when visiting our booking page select 'Gift The Orchard Experience'. You can then opt whether you would like the voucher emailed, sent out in the post or collected in person.

The vouchers are valid for 1 year and to sign up for the current year it should be used to register before the 31st March. The recipient will have to visit our booking page and select 'Redeem The Orchard Experience', select the relevant option and then enter the voucher code at checkout.
