tasty and pure

organic english fruit

The Old Windmill is home to a spectacular array of wild plants and animals. Habitats include ponds, woodland, hedgerows, wildflower verges and organic vegetable and ornamental gardens. These support beneficial pollinators and predators including wild bees, dragonflies, ladybirds, ground beetles, birds and hedgehogs.

Our organic fruit is grown with love, picked at peak ripeness and sold locally. What could be better than freshly harvested organic fruit in season.

About

Who we are

We have been growing organic top fruit in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside since 1998. We cultivate a wide range of both popular and uncommon varieties of apples, as well as plums, pears, quinces, and walnuts — all grown with love, care, and attention.

A Taste of Organic Orchards

You are warmly invited to visit and buy directly from our farm shop. Our Grand Opening will take place on March 28. From then on, we will be open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Come and enjoy the orchard and explore our selection of fresh organic produce, including organic juices, organic dried fruits, and organic walnuts. We also offer freshly ground coffee, hot drinks, and homemade cakes.

Organic Orchards

Grown with Nature

The foundation of our organic farm is a healthy soil and biodiverse ecosystem, allowing our trees to thrive with minimal inputs and produce nutritious and tasty fruit. We use horse manure from our neighbours, woodchip and seaweed fertiliser to add some fertility and improve the structure of the topsoil, but the real magic is the work done by fungi, bacteria and other soil life to support and nourish the trees.

Why Organic?
We grow organically for the sake of healthy and delicious fruit, and for the benefit of wildlife and the wider environment. Organic farming minimises soil-, water- and air-pollution, and promotes long-term resilience of the land.  

We put the wellbeing of people and nature at the heart of what we do. We are Soil Association certified organic producers and are proud to distribute our fruit locally to companies that share our values.

A healthy organic soil sequesters carbon and bolsters food security by reducing reliance on industrial fertilisers.
