Fruit diversity
Discover our impressive range of heritage and rare fruit varieties, grown with guaranteed organic methods.
We currently grow around 400 heritage apple varieties, 100 pears, 70 plums and 15 cherries. Every variety has its own story and character. Our aim is to preserve this diversity and give you the chance to discover these rare and often forgotten flavours.
Practically all today's globally traded varieties share the same parents and genetic material. They are highly susceptible to disease and require extensive use of crop protection products.
Almost all modern varieties taste alike and contain little vitamin C and few polyphenols.
Heritage varieties offer a wide range of shapes, colours and flavours.
Some forms of disease resistance have stood the test of centuries.
Varieties high in polyphenols are of interest to people with allergies.
Many heritage varieties can be grown without crop protection products and taste excellent.
