Fruit Harvest Share: Aug-Nov 2025

£99.00

We grow 100 different types of apple at an old orchard near Garforth and we are offering you a seasonal share of the harvest this autumn.

For £99 you get 4 months of delicious, fresh, locally grown, heritage varieties grown without chemicals. By signing up you help restore and manage an old orchard with a unique collection of Yorkshire fruit. 

For each of the four months of harvest season you’ll get a 5.5kg crate of two different heritage varieties. That’s about 40+ delicious apples, with a note of their name and heritage story. In September there will be an extra crate which includes pears, and October an extra crate of cooking apples. 

Your harvest share:

  • August: 1 crate (5.5kg) of eating apples

  • September: 2 crates of apples & pears

  • October: 2 crates of apples

  • November: 1 crate of (mostly cooking) apples

In total, that’s about 33kg of fruit.

Collection points:

Our confirmed collection points are listed below and we are open to suggestions for more. You could even organise one at your house with a group of neighbours or friends.

  • Kirkstall Valley Farm, Leeds

  • Roots Allotments, Garforth

  • Shine Bradford, St Stephen’s Church BD5 7BX

  • Shipley centre, Bradford (exact location TBC)

  • Your house? Your workplace?! If you can organise 5+ shares to be collected somewhere, let us know and we’ll add it to the delivery round.

Sign up before 1 August to reserve a share of this year’s harvest. We’ll be in contact nearer the time to confirm all the details.

If you live north of Leeds and want to be more involved in the growing of the trees, consider becoming a harvest share member of Braythorne Community Orchard. They’re a pioneering CSA (community supported agriculture) project between Otley and Harrogate. They have a small harvest share (£27 for 7kg per year) and medium shares (£38 for 10kg). Contact braythorneorchard@gmail.com to find out more.

  • No, but the trees haven’t had chemicals used on them for decades.

  • No. One of the challenges of growing food is we never know how productive the different trees will be. So we can’t predict exactly which of the 100 different trees will do well. But they will definitely be tasty and very different to anything you’d find in a supermarket.

  • £3 per kilo is cheaper than organic apples in the supermarkets and only slightly more than non-organic ones. It takes time to pick fruit by hand in the old, tall trees. Our pickers get paid the Real Living Wage.

  • We want to offer you a competitive price because the harvest share scheme works better for us than other ways of selling fruit. It’s easier for us to plan knowing how much fruit we need to pick and only dropping it off at a few collection points.

  • It’s up to you to arrange somebody to collect your fruit for you. They’ll be fine for few days, but if they haven’t been collected after a week we will give the good quality fruit to a food bank.

  • We’re looking for new places. Please get in touch with us if you’ve got an idea.

    Could you organise 5 or more shares to be collected from your house or a local community space? Get in touch to let us know.

  • Yes. £99 is a lot of money for some people, so we can send you 3 separate monthly invoices for bank transfer instead. Contact sales@fruitworks.org.uk to sign up to pay in this way.

  • Yes, we sell apple trees, so you can grow your own harvest for the future! See our shop to browse trees.

    We sometimes sell apple juice, vinegar and cider at events.
