EEAOP is a registered charity working to guarantee a future for local orchard fruits and orchards. There are around 250 local varieties of apple, pear, plum and cherry that come from the seven counties of our region – Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
These varieties and their orchard habitat need to be preserved for their local significance, genetic diversity, as local food sources and for their landscape and wildlife value.
There are also hundreds of ‘lost’ fruit varieties which we only know of from written records. Maybe you can help us find them?
There are many ways to help us. You could become a member; buy our fruit trees; sign up for a workshop; come to an Apple Day; buy local-grown fruit or help us survey orchards.
