At Lathcoats there is a world of apples to be discovered.

Don’t be limited by what the supermarkets have to offer, we grow 50 varieties including Essex’s own Chelmsford Wonder (from Chelmsford), Queen (from Billericay), D’Arcy Spice (from Tolleshunt D’Arcy) and Discovery (from Colchester).

We also grow old favourites like Cox, rare and unusual varieties such as Cornish Gilliflower and newer varieties like Temptation and Honey Crisp.

All are available ready picked in the farm shop during their season.
