Who we are
About the farm
We are a family fruit farm near Ticehurst, East Sussex: David and Mary bought the land in 1952 and built up the first pick-your-own farm in the country here, and we are still a family business today. On our 22-hectare Windmill Hill fruit farm in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty we grow plums, apples, pears, cherries, cobnuts and soft fruit using Integrated Crop Management, plus blackcurrants for Ribena on about 20 hectares of rented land. During the pick-your-own season we welcome visitors Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–5pm; most of our fruit goes to wholesale markets, supermarkets and local shops, and we also make our own apple juice from our apples.

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.
