Who we are
About the farm
We are a fourth-generation family fruit farm in Galleywood, Essex (near Chelmsford): the Taylor family has grown fruit at Lathcoats since 1912, and today we grow over 50 varieties of English apple and 9 different soft fruits. We sell our own produce in our award-winning farm shop alongside goods from local small producers, make single-variety apple juices and ciders, and welcome visitors for pick-your-own summer fruits (June–August), apples and pumpkins in autumn and Christmas trees from November. The farm is home to The Bee Shed Coffee House, we keep goats, pigs, alpacas and donkeys for visitors to meet, and we hold events throughout the year.

Write a review
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.
