Greensleeves Apple

The Greensleeves apple,  introduced in 1966, was developed by East Malling Research Station as a cross between Golden Delicious and James Grieve. It has the sweetness of the Golden Delicious with a touch of acidity from James Grieves and is very popular with children. Perfect for school lunch boxes.

Greensleeves apples are grown here in our orchard and are available to buy from the farm shop at ~The Orchard Tea Room, Redmoor Lane, Wisbech, PE14 0RN.
Opening hours currently 8am -4pm Monday to Saturday, 9am - 4pm Sunday.

Happy New Year to all our customers

Happy New Year everyone

from

The Orchard Tea Room & Farm Shop

We're closed today, January 1st, but open as usual from tomorrow, the 2nd of January 2014. We're expecting deliveries from our local suppliers so there will be lots of just cut veg, straight from the field.

Merry Christmas from The Orchard Farm Shop

With best wishes for a very

Happy Christmas

to you and all your family

from

Jim &  co. at the farm shop

Now over to the Talking Animals to wish you a Merry Christmas:

While shepherds watch their flocks

Just a quick reminder on this the 4th Sunday of Advent that we're open until 3pm on Christmas Eve with plenty of fresh fruit and veg for sale. Even if we say so ourselves we think the Orchard Farm Shop is going to be the perfect place to avoid that last minute scrum at the supermarkets.

Now for your amusement something a little bit different

This YouTube video is of " Crazy shepherds fit their sheep with LED vests to create awesome designs on a hill. They recreate a game of Pong, fireworks, and the Mona Lisa." Certainly puts a different slant to

While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around

This Romanesco broccoli or  Romanesque cauliflower (whichever you prefer to call it) does look rather festive in a Christmas tree sort of way don't you think?

Talking of Christmas we're now taking Christmas orders for fruit and veg. Tell us what you want and when you want to collect and your fruit and veg, chutneys and jams, honey and apple juice, bird seeds and sausages will all be ready and waiting for you.
