Apple Day 2011

See what we got up to this year on Apple Day:

October 25th - Radio 2

Every appreciative comment from our customers gives us a warm glow but we have to admit to getting very excited when Radio Two Breakfast Show presenter Chris Evans tasted our apples live on air on Monday 25th October 2010. Having Chris rave about our apples in front of his huge radio audience was great but he then invited his special guest, singer Michael Buble, to try them too. His first reaction? ‘WOW!’

Listen again while you can to their comments at 2hrs 29 minutes and 2hrs 33minutes into the show , www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 

or see their expressions of delight, and (what’s left of) our apples in the photo of them both which was featured all day on the Radio Two homepage.

The Show’s Producer said ’The tastiest apples ever’

Chris Evans said’ These apples are getting better and better. If apples were this good all the time everybody would eat apples’

Michael Buble said ‘Honestly? Wow! This could be the tastiest apple ever. You don’t want to waste these’.

As a final endorsement Chris asked Michael to sign one of our apples for his daughter.

 

But you don’t have to be a big star to eat Lathcoats apples. You can enjoy the same tasting experience simply by popping into our farm shop and visiting our tasting table!
