The cherries have enjoyed a long cold winter with plenty of “chill hours” which helps with vernalisation and is a good indicator for this year’s crop. The cherries do not like soggy feet however so we are hoping that the sun will come out and dry up the land. In late March we got the nets up in record time (just before the dreadful weather of Easter weekend)! We must finally be getting the hang of it after 12 years! As the bud swells and the blossom comes out we hope for warm weather and no severe frosts which could kill the flowers and reduce the crop. We hope to see you all for the blossom walk on 7th May!
Please come and enjoy the farm in full bloom on bank holiday Monday 7th May, from 2pm – 4pm. It will be an opportunity to see the trees in full bloom, have a lovely walk in the countryside and have a chat to the growers. We will also be available to talk about employment opportunities for the 2018 season.
It is with regret that we will not be sending out our gift boxes of cherries by courier delivery this year (except for bulk orders over the phone (10 boxes +). The manpower, expense and regulatory issues of selling cherries online are sadly too onerous for a business running such a short selling season. We hope that you will be able to make a visit to the farm or one of our other outlets instead to collect your fresh cherries!

Exciting news – there is less than a month to go until the 2017 cherry harvest is underway. We expect to open around Saturday 8th July at the farm shop, but please check our website and twitter feed (@englishcherry) for exact dates and times.
As the season approaches, the word is getting out that our beautiful fresh English cherries can be ordered online. We have been truly delighted with the response that we have received to our new website and online courier service and have pasted a couple of the more recent articles from our friends at OVL and Woman & Home. Please continue to spread the word....!
