THE ORCHARDS

Heritage Varieties

The orchards at Foxmoor are living libraries of flavor. Here you'll find apple varieties that haven't been grown commercially in a century, pears so delicate they bruise at a glance, and stone fruits with complexity that modern breeding has sacrificed for shelf stability.

We grow these varieties because they taste extraordinary—and because every tree we plant is an act of preservation. Many of our cultivars exist in only a handful of orchards worldwide. Some were rescued from abandoned farmsteads. Others came from heritage collections dedicated to saving what industrial agriculture discards.

Organic Practices

Our orchards are managed organically, using integrated pest management, beneficial insects, and careful variety selection to minimize disease pressure. We underplant with nitrogen-fixing cover crops, mulch heavily with wood chips, and avoid any synthetic sprays.

This approach requires more attention than conventional orcharding. We monitor each tree individually, prune for airflow and light penetration, and accept that some fruit will go to the birds. The reward is fruit that carries no chemical residue and trees that build soil health year after year.

What We Grow

Our orchards include heirloom apples in dozens of varieties, from crisp early-season eating apples to complex late-season keepers perfect for cider and storage. We grow antique pears, heritage plums, cherries, peaches, and small fruits including currants, gooseberries, and mulberries.

Fruit availability is seasonal and unpredictable—some varieties produce heavily one year and rest the next. We announce harvests as they approach.
