Reviews
The new Apple & Pear season is approaching fast.. ๐๐๐๐
A magnificent effort by the team - the Great British weather has provided us with heavy rain and strong winds all week - leaving Friday night as our only opportunity to spray in what is a critical time of year. Great job everyone!
The main steel structure is done on our new Controlled Atmosphere Storage block - just the roof, walls, floors, refrigeration and CA equipment to go before harvest... ๐๐
The new Domaine Evremond vineyards are planted and look fantastic!
Entente cordiale in the Vineyards - great to see Aurelien from the Taittinger viticulture team helping us set up the mechanical weeding.
The view from the office this afternoon - beautiful but increasingly cold and wet!
Autumn has arrived and the grubbing has started.. goodbye to โThe Groveโ and โLong Fieldโ. Time for a brief period of rest and recuperation before being replanted in winter 2019
The Braeburn apples are still pouring off the orchards! Just another 2 weeks and it will all be safely picked and in our cold stores.
Time to go home boys?! The end of a long and successful Apple picking week..
Preparation for our 2019 orchard planting is going well
Apples as far as the eye can see!
Boys and their toys.. the fruit trailer boys lined up ready to receive at Thorpe Farm
Good morning from the Garden of England!
The new way - the first of our apple picking platforms has arrived and is going well! More to come for next year!
Autumn mornings in Kent..
When you find an apple bin thatโs older than the man moving it.. 1993 - clearly an excellent vintage! Rytis assures me the same can be said for 1996.. ๐
Pear picking has begun in a big way.. with the weather looking helpful for the next few days we should be able to make real in roads into the crop with Gala Apples to follow close behind.
