Pruning on the farm is well under way and with over 40,000 trees to do, we find that it needs a good fast pruning team to make any headway. If you put 6 pruners into different fields, it appears that none of them are getting anywhere, but if they are all in one orchard they seem to fly along – so that’s they way we like to do it!

Our new cold store project is progressing with the building to house all the stores now erected and the roof and walls all fully clad. Now the concrete floor is set and we are using a specialist company to come in and do this. As the building is over 5000 square feet, once the concrete is laid, it has to power floated to give a smooth finish. This is then left for 28 days to get the strongest floor possible.

We’ve just made a new juice – Pear and Raspberry. This is the first time we’ve made a blend containing Pear juice – based on how fast it is selling; our customers seem to love it!

We just had our organic audit and inspection last week – a stressful time! Thankfully, we passed and we’ve achieved our organic status for the next year.

Don’t forget to get your Christmas orders in as soon as possible. A case of juice makes a great present – we can delivery anywhere in the mainland UK and include a message if you wish. You can order directly from us online over the phone on 01622 859272.
