What you will discover

From the orchard to the packing shed.

Travel through different parts of the orchard on our specially designed passenger trailer, with explanations of the fruit varieties we grow, how the trees are cared for, growing techniques and how crops are picked.
The tour then continues inside our large packing shed, where you can see our computerised fruit-grading machine, followed by a look at our apple juice manufacturing plant and bottling operations.
