East of England Apples and Orchards Project

Bedfordshire - Cambridgeshire - Essex - Hertfordshire - Lincolnshire - Norfolk - Suffolk


Welcome

Welcome to our new site, celebrating the orchard fruits of the East of England. These pages will be expanded and updated, so do call back.

We're committed to the future of the fruit varieties local to the area. There's a huge range of them, some old, some new, but all unique in their flavour, season or use, and all with strong connections with their locality.

What's on site, now and to come:


We'd like to hear from you
  • If you want to know more about any aspect of the project
  • If you can tell us about any old orchards or apple trees, especially if they're local varieties, or unknown varieties
  • If you'd like to get involved...
    • Can you identify apples?
    • Do you know about orchard management?
    • Are you interested in local survey work?
    • Are you interested in historical research?
    • Would you like to help at apple days?
  • If you run a business growing or using locally-grown fruits

About us

Founded in 2003, we are a registered charity which aims to inspire, enthuse and inform the public about the rich heritage of orchards and orchard fruit which is unique to the seven counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

Orchards are important for food production, as landscape features and for their wildlife value. There are about 250 varieties of apple, pear, plum and cherry whose origins or introductions lie in our region. Local orchard fruit varieties are worth preserving for their local significance and their contribution to genetic diversity.
