About

Discover the unrivalled sweetness and crunch of our seasonal apples – picked from organic orchards, and chosen for good, old-fashioned flavour. We source lots of beloved English varieties; the season starts with Discovery, a red-skinned fruit with crisp white flesh, followed by later varieties such as Red Windsor and Red Pippin.

Outside the English season, we source from trusted grower friends in renowned apple-growing countries like Italy, Argentina, and Chile. We never air freight – instead, the apples are transported by boat (which has a much lower carbon footprint). Look out for regional specialities including Cripps Pink, Bonita, and Fuji.

Crunching into a ripe apple is one of life’s great, simple pleasures. But crisp slices also make a refreshing addition to salads – and some varieties (those firm enough to hold their shape once cooked) are excellent baked into puddings. What beats the classic apple crumble?

‘Organic’ means our apples are grown in a way that works with nature, rather than fighting against it. They're never sprayed with artificial pesticides – unlike conventionally grown apples, which are typically treated 10 to 15 times a year.

Storage

Store at room temperature if you’ll be eating them within 2-3 days, for the best flavour. If you need them to last longer, keep them in the fridge. Delivered fresh from the farm, so wash before eating.

Class

Our apples are sold as Class 2. This means that they might not look cosmetically perfect, but they are grown for the very best flavour.
