Planted before 1841 the traditional orchards of Haylings Farm have been producing the juiciest, sweetest English plums for over a century. Today, our 1 600 trees are home to an abundance of thriving animal and plant species – including the Green Woodpecker, a bird we hope will be resident for hundreds of years to come. Why? Because our ethos is to produce delicious fruit but not at the expense of the environment. No pesticides. No sprays. Just the plums you and we love to eat.
