Top harvest picks

It's been a challenging year so far, of stalling and stop-starts, but the apple harvest is a few weeks ahead of previous years which is an encouraging (and grounding) reminder that nature marches on - a bonus if you're low on stock, so you can get product on the shelves just that little bit earlier. We wish you a busy pressing season.
