Who we are
About the farm
Near Carlisle in Cumbria, we grow organic fruit and vegetables all year round in our market garden at Low Luckens and our orchard at Houghton, in polytunnels and outdoors. We started with a rented field in 2003, planted the orchard in 2010 and took on the whole 16-acre (about 6.5 ha) Low Luckens smallholding in 2015; we are a small family business. We grow over 50 varieties of fruit and vegetables, certified by the Soil Association, without pesticides or artificial fertilisers, and make award-winning apple juices pressed in small batches from our own apples. We deliver our fruit and veg boxes weekly or fortnightly to homes in north, west and south Cumbria, west Northumberland and south Dumfriesshire; our juices are also sold in our online shop and in local shops.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
