Local Honey Worcester

Fruitfields is a family-run smallholding established in 2009 in North Worcestershire, born from a lifelong dream of owning a smallholding. Over seven years, the family planted 620 apple trees with the help of family and friends, focusing on heritage Worcestershire varieties and juicing apples, alongside a small cider orchard. The operation has expanded to include plums, cherries, pears, soft fruit bushes, an edible hedge, and nut trees. Beekeeping has grown alongside the orchard, with two apiaries — a main orchard apiary and a newer reservoir apiary. Their honey has won awards including the Novice Trophy at their District Honey Show for soft set honey, and their apple juice won Best in Show at the Three Counties Malvern Show in 2022. They use no chemicals on their field and add no artificial preservatives to their products. In addition to honey production, they offer bee experience sessions, hosting around 30 visitors per year in intimate one-to-two-person sessions. Honey types available include soft set honey. Products are sold through multiple local retailers across Worcestershire. The business is active on Facebook and Instagram under the handle @fruitfieldsjuice.
