Crapes Fruit Farm

It’s Friday and our delivery has arrived! So happy with our order. A great place to buy fruits and vegetables that actually have an amazing taste!

Went with our Beaver group and had a great walk around the orchard with the owner, learning about the history and types of apple they produce.

A fruit farm that specialises in traditional apple varieties from an equally traditional orchard. Family owned and run. They sell apples at the farm and through mail order but only their own produce which means what you can get is very seasonal - there aren't any apples in late spring or summer so ring or check the helpful website. Andrew is a real apple expert, very knowledgeable and often available for advice. They sometimes make their own apple juice and we have also bought plums, pears, quinces and vegetables when they have them. We've been buying our apples here for 25 years.

Order by mail,chat and pay all done by mail.I bought Medlar fruits who does know what they are well very rare and wonderful fruits.My feedback will be 10stars.I can't express in words the quality of service, communication,product and packaging all above expectation.And the fruit was send next day delivery to 150milea away.I think and consider I didn't find a farm I find a friend.Thank you very much for all your hard work.Leo

Lovely fresh fruit and veg

One of Colchester's best kept secrets. A farm with heart for what it does... And that is too grow and produce a seasonal range of heritage apples to vegetables and other fruits using traditional methods.All of which they will deliver to your door every Friday no matter what size your order.Veg is picked fresh to order and once it's gone it's gone.All packaging is recyclable which may mean in vesting in tubs for storage. But one in a tub this stuff will last a good while.

Over 100 varieties of apples, not all at the same time of course.
