OLD LANCASHIRE VARIETIES

Since 1730

A history dating back 300 years

DEDICATED TO PRESERVING ANCIENT LANCASHIRE VARIETIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

Propagating our fruit

Every year, we graft 100s of old Lancashire varieties of apples, pears and plums.

A range of Fresh Produce

From our farm, we make a wide range of fresh produce - from juice to jams.

300 years of growing fruit

We are one of, if not 'the', oldest orchards in northern England, dating back to 1730.

Sustainable Farming

From harvesting rainwater to zero-emission quadbikes, we employ sustainable business practices where possible.

Harvested rainwater

We have over 10,000 litres of harvested rainwater to water the trees in dry weather, which reduces strain on our municipal sources, lowers energy use, and minimises pollution

electric atv

The ATV which we use for collections is all-electric, helping reduce air pollution, and we plan to use 100% solar power for charging by 2027.

all-natural growth

We don't use any artificial pesticides, herbicides or fungicides on any of our trees; which helps protect the local ecosystem.

no additives

We don't use any artificial additives or acidity regulators in any of our produce, which has both health and environmental benefits.

supporting bees

Currently, we have six hives around our orchard (home to around 150,000 bees) and we plan to double this by 2026.

no plastic

We only use glass bottles and jars to package our products, which are more recyclable and reusable and prevents microplastic pollution.

Our Products

promoting awareness of our heritage varieties

Liam has featured on various radio shows, TV programmes and magazine articles to drive awareness of the old Lancashire varieties of apples and pears. 

The best apple juice, hands down! My little ones don't often agree on things, but this juice was loved by them all!

We love calling by the stall on our days out and seeing what's on offer - you can't find fresher fruit anywhere!

John + Wendy Lostock Hall

This stall reminds me of home (Poland), lots of fresh and natural fruit with no chemicals, and delicious homemade jams.
