Falkland Estate has had productive orchards going back centuries. Planted in 2012, the current orchard sits in the shelter of the Lomond Hills. It covers an area of 2 acres and is fully organic. There are currently several beehives on the orchard to help pollinate the trees.
Falkland have over 600 trees in 4 varieties – Discovery, Red Windsor, James Grieve and Rajka – these varieties were chosen because they ripen at different times during the season ensuring that there will be apples available from late August until the middle of October.
The Estate makes both cider and juice from our apples which are extremely popular and any excess apples are sold on to markets and on to manufacturers.
