The Orchard

“From blossom to bottle”, we are passionate about the orchards at Stoke Farm. We diversified into juice production in 1995 to safeguard the future of the orchards as the increase in imports threatened the UK industry. Being chosen as a “Locally Sourced” supplier has boosted our business but our ethos remains unchanged; to produce the finest quality juices.
There is a huge amount of biodiversity within the orchard as we have moved away from an integrated crop management system to being fully ORGANIC. We rely on predatory insects to control pests. Additionally, we do not irrigate so the fruit grows to its natural size and taste. We grow solely for juice and having total control allows us to leave each variety to reach its prime before hand picking and pressing, giving each juice its distinct varietal flavour.
Although labour intensive, our low tech methods allow us to be flexible and innovative.
Interested customers will be able to follow the annual cycle of production giving them a better understanding of what we do on media platforms.
