They grow a wide range of traditional English fruits and use them to make conserves and condiments in their nut-free factory by the farm. Their farm is LEAF Marque accredited (Linking Environment And Farming), recognising that they work sympathetically with the environment and encourage links with their local community.
Fruit crops include strawberries, raspberries, mulberries, Morello cherries, rhubarb, damson, Victoria plum, greengage, quince, and the curious medlar.
Their products are made to cherished recipes and are free from artificial colours and flavours. They inspect and prepare their fruit by hand, then cook in small batches using traditional, copper-bottomed pans.
