Our Orchard
Apples have been part of
a'Beckett's for many years, before the main house was remodelled in 1902
the land to the south of it adjoining the main road was an orchard.
In the 1920's apples were still grown here but things really took off
after WW2 when the Clarke family planted extensive orchards here.
Apples were sold locally and into Bristol Market. The Orchards
were continued and developed further by Gerald Payton through the 1960's
to the 1990's when they fell into decline.
Varieties
So far we think we have been able
to identify the following;
- Red Bramley
- Cox's Orange
Pippin
- Lord Lambourne
- James Grieve
- Spartan
- Laxton Superb
- Katy
- Worcester
Permain
The Orchard has been brought back
to life over a number of years, we prune minimally as the trees are
between 20 and 60 years of age and we don't want to be too invasive.
The orchard has been organic for over 15 years and although we have not
registered we will continue to avoid using manufactured sprays and
fertilisers.
Apple Juice
We make a range of juices in 750ml
and 250ml bottles and sell these at shows, on this website, via our shop
and also through a growing number of our stockists.
We have a number of single variety
and blended juice for sale, these are shorter run juices so they change
quite quickly please check our online store for what is in stock.
