- No chiller room!
- No sitting around on supermarket shelves!
- No squeezing by customers in the produce department!
The fruit is hand-picked to your order and is handled only once before being carefully packaged up and dispatched directly to you. This means the fruit is super duper fresh when it is delivered to your door.
We pick the fruit green so you will need to be patient when your box of deliciousness arrives. And, as a bonus, most of our packaging is reusable and biodegradable.

Has anyone lost a pet cockatiel as there is one which has been around in my yard and surrounding properties for the last few days. Having owned a cockatiel many years ago its presence was brought to my attention as I recognised the distinctive sound.

Felling of a section of the forest continues, but due to the nature of the process we’ll be delaying the weekday re-opening of Tunnel Drive (from Maymorn Gate through to the other side of the tunnel) for a few weeks.

This is to allow for work continuing either side of the Drive, meaning it’s not yet safe for public access.
Health and safety is our number one concern so until work moves away from this area it will have to remain closed on weekdays. You can still access the area on weekends.
We’ll keep you updated through social media, and will announce the weekday reopening of Tunnel Drive on our website.
