Flights Orchard Organics works with a group of growers to provide the customer with, by and large, everything within the box that can be grown in the UK. Each grower has a planting schedule with Flights Orchard Organics and we pay the farmers a fair price for their produce, whilst providing you the consumer with good quality, organically grown, seasonal vegetables and fruit.
Flights Orchard Farm, Ledbury, Herefordshire Flights Orchard farm at Little Marcle is 90 acres of clay/ loam soils and has been in organic production for 13 years. My wife Cath & I started farming organically 20 years ago and it has long been a belief of mine, and gives me great pleasure, to grow food safely and to sell it as locally as possible,
25 acres of rarity - an English orchard of 8 varieties of apple from Discovery in August, to Cox in the Autumn and Kents in the winter.
Suckler cows, beef, table poultry and about 70 acres of vegetables so a real mixed bag.
The Davenport seniors taught the Davenport junior everything he knows. Based at Bromsgrove, Badgers Bank produces early crops on its light sandy soils.
Protected crops are their forte with 5 acres of glass house near Kington. The Payne's always have an eye for something different such as purple peppers and hot wax chillies.
Super spring crops such as salad onions and radish along with winter lettuce are regular performers from the Wagstaff's glass house at Dymock.
A family set up with mother, father and son farming some 220 acres of dairy, Brasiccas and fruit. The Masons's have been farming Merrivale Farm for some 25 years, the last 5 of which have been organic. They also have been experimenting with growing old-fashioned fruit such as Tayberries and Justaberries (a cross between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant).
Carefully managed over a long period of time, this 500 acre of traditional family farm, which was even mentioned in the Domesday Book, produces organic milk, beef, and a large selection of seasonal vegetables. |
