An early end to our fruit season

Yes, you have read correctly, just a few very well bletted Medlars left – a delicacy for only the few enthusiasts.

The speed at which the Medlars have softened is a reflection on the season as a whole. The few apples we did have exhibited a similar tendency to mature weeks ahead of usual.

For those of you included in our delivery round, rest assurred we have vegetables to supply through the winter. It is possible to make up a pack of vegetables (instead of apples) to send further afield. Simply log into CrapesFruit Farm on Facebook at midday on Tuesdays to see what is on offer for either mode.

Please note that we do not supply the wholesale trade or other farm shops.

The orchard needs three months of proper winter weather!
