Jonathan & Anwen Hoskyns

Land on which our orchards grow has been in the Hoskyns’ family since the 1740’s, when Jonathan’s ancestor William Hoskins (sic), first started purchasing land in the area.

The first orchards were planted in 1930 by Jonathan’s grandfather Henry (Hal) Hoskyns, to provide employment in the village in a time of depression. William (Bill) Hoskyns, (Jonathan’s father), ran the farm from the late 50’s until 1990. Jonathan returned from farming in Kent in 1991 and has run the business since then.

Jonathan and Anwen met in Kent and were married in Anglesey in 1994. Their twin daughters Harriet & Isabel were born in 1996.

Our broad range of apples & pear varieties are all natural and unsweetened. Every variety has its own individual character and flavour making each distinctive in its identity. They are arranged by their natural acidity and the range extends from sweet to tart with every palate catered for in between (acidity may vary from year to year). For customers wanting to discover more about our range we offer free tasters at the Farmers Markets. On the 2nd weekend in October each year, we host an Apple Weekend (together with “Art in the Barn”

and “Tractors in the Field”) where the public can come and see and sample more than 30 varieties of apples and pears, all grown in North Perrott Expert advice is on hand and tasters

are offered to encourage enthusiasm for a wider range of English apples and their associated products.

Looking after our Environment we make every effort to ensure that our products do as little

to harm our environment as possible. Our methods of farming are audited by the Red Tractor Scheme. Food miles are limited because all the processing is done on the farm by our own staff. Where possible we deliver to shops and garden centres directly from the farm. Retailers further afield are supplied by a Bristol wholesaler who collects directly from the farm. Any empty bottles that are returned to the farm are cleaned and re-used, as is packaging.
