Browns Apples in Barrow bags shake & catch harvested
Browns apple are classified as sharp with a very fruity aroma, high acidity and relatively low Tannins
These are grown in an agroforestry system in "Fox" field
Using a mulch beneath the trees and balanced nutrition, no chemical sprays have been used at all on the fruit this year.
Approximate weight 80 - 100 Kg per bag.
Unfortunately extremely wet winter has meant that this variety is suffering an "off Year" meaning yields are significantly down. It is marginal as to whether it is worthwhile harvesting and this has been reflected in the price and availability.
This configuration is ideal for collection in large cars, vans or trailers (see note below)
Each bag is equivalent to weight of one large passenger
Bag dimensions - Empty 46 x 46 x 91 cm
Consistency and quality is achieved through our "shake & Catch harvest system" and this variety is earlier ripening and more reliable than our comparable Heritage varieties. Fruit is then rapidly chilled so overall this is the closest you will get to a hand picked sample, without such a large premium cost. The sample you should expect will be subject to a small degree of bruising and variation in apple sizes.
Barrow bags have a discharge spout, top skirt and lifting strops
Approximately Two week lead time
nb - We cannot guarantee to be able to load into all cars / vans or how many might fit in to various models of car. Please note bag sizes and be mindful that the straps are suspended from above with pallet tines. The example in the photographs shows a customers discovery with Four barrow bags loaded and a VW Passat estate with Two barrow bags loaded lengthways on.
