The fruit enterprise is based at Sidnall Farm, situated only 1/2mile from the home farm, but 700ft above sea level. This farm has well draining south facing slopes, silty clay loam soils with sheltered fields suitable for commercial fruit growing. The views stretch across Herefordshire to The Malvern Hills. The fruit enterprise is continually expanding especially in Strawberries and Cherry production.

There is a dedicated pack house and cold storage area where the soft fruit is graded and packed. Lower Hope is a member of KG Fruits who market our fruit to the leading supermarkets around the UK. |
