Since 1992, Stephen and Julia Hayes planted and manage 800 or so apples, plums and pears in southern Hampshire, mainly rare old 'heritage' varieties. We sell our fruit when it is ripe in season from late July to Christmas at farmers' markets etc. We make a living from Steve's daytime job in the health service, but grow, sell and advocate heritage apples with a passion.

Julia and I envisioned, planted and manage the Fruitwise orchard in Durley, Hampshire. I am interested in heritage apples. Valuable old apple DNA is being lost and we can't afford to lose it. The most reliable way to stop and reverse this loss is for people to become interested in preserving the heritage of apples which comes down to us from our ancestors. This can best be done by planting, celebrating, preserving and using local orchardsWe are commited Christians.
