''We are growers who care about the apples we grow''
Our team at Tollemache Orchards work hard to
produce a quality end
product which starts from
bud burst through to the
apples you select from
the supermarket
shelves. We have high
quality standards and procedures in place to
ensure we meet these requirements
for customers and
exporters.
To meet all food safety
standards and good
horticultural growing
practices, we have
developed systems and procedures to ensure we
comply to these
standards and growing
practices. We are
GlobalGap, BRC Grade
AA certified and also MPI approved operators.
We are growers who
care about the
environment we work
and live in. We look after
the environment and our
natural resources by,
- monitoring soil moisture levels, water use and only using when it is needed.
- Established habitats for wildlife to thrive and to monitor wildlife populations.
- Use machinery, fuel and electricity more efficiently to reduce emissions.
- Minimise machinery work to reduce soil compaction.
- Recycling waste material generated on the orchard.
