Id pretty much given up this year on fruit and the last tubs of apple sauce were used at the weekend. BUT look what I found...
Not only have I found a local(ish) fruit orchard but he has lots of heritage and regional trees, they're all older standard trees carrying far too much fruit for mr squirrel to take.
I don't think he does a lot of farm gate sales though,I have no idea why when he was charging less the 25% of the supermarkets prices for real, local fruit.

Tydeman's Late Orange, Edward V11.
Ashmead's Kernel,Red Falstaff, Claygate Pearmain, King Coffee.
Court Pendu Plat , Lord Lambourne, Brookes.
Happy as a pig in mud I am
I also picked up some beurre hardy and conference pears - but they didn't last long enough to photograph.

I only managed a slice. Max is very picky, he'll have your arm off for an egremont or the brookes but wont touch the juicy deserts or the cookers.
