Figs, figs and more figs! The 2018 season has begun …

The orchard is well and truly in full swing and we have an abundance of beautifully ripe and juicy figs available. The season began a number of weeks ahead of last season thanks to a lovely warm and sun-drenched ripening season.

We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to share our figs with fellow fig lovers and so our gate sales are open 7 days a week at 32 Old Renwick Road where you can find cooking/preserving figs or plenty of ripe figs to eat at an affordable price direct from the orchard!

We are also grateful and very thankful to have the support of talented local chefs who have been creating wonderful things with our Autumn produce. See a few of the magical creations below…And don’t forget if you feel like you’re in need of some fig inspiration, pop on over to our recipe section to peruse a few ideas here.

But first, feast your eyes on these local fig dishes!
