About Us
Shields Orchard is a small family based orchard that has been retailing our own fruit since 1955. Since 1992 we have been also been providing the opportunity for individuals and small family groups to “Pick Their Own” apples. There is no enty charge; the only charge is for the fruit picked. We provide a basket or you can pick into your own bags. We weigh the bags and charge per kilogram.
Covid
Because we have always encouraged people to book before coming it hasn’t been as difficult to adapt to the Covid . We can manage numbers to ensure there won’t be large crowds of people on the farm at one time.
