Charltons work closely with our marketing organisations and retail clients to ensure we provide a range of carefully selected fruit varieties and take pride in ensuring that we maintain only the highest standards from grower to customer.
Charltons grow Apples, Strawberries and Cherries on approx 445 hectares across 11 sites within a 5 mile radius. Charltons have a state of the art storage and packing facility that handles fruit from its own farms as well as from other growers within the UK and worldwide.
Charltons grow just over 90 hectares, producing between 5,000 and 6,000 tonnes of strawberries, all grown on a table top system under polytunnels.
Charltons farm over 175 hectares of orchards producing 6,000 to 7,000 tonnes of apples.
At Charltons, cherries are one of the latest additions to our crop portfolio; currently a total of 12 hectares of young orchards producing approximately 200 tonnes of fruit in a range of varieties.
Alongside our own fruit, Charltons also pack and store fruit from both UK and overseas growers, marketed to multiple retailers and supermarkets in the UK, through our marketing partners. This is an all year round operation.
Extensive crop varietal trials are carried out annually in cooperation with our Producer Organisations, Marketing Organisations and also Retail Clients, recording all aspects of plant habit, growth and their responses to cultural practices. Resistance to pest and disease are also measured along with berry size, quality and yield.
