Hill House Farm Cherries - Ledbury
Description
The finest cherries in Herefordshire, freshly picked and sold on the same day.
Open from 10am until 7pm every day during the season We are a family farm growing arable crops, cider apples and cherries along with some layer breeder chickens.
The first of our cherry trees were planted nearly 20 years ago and have slowly planted more trees to meet demand. We started selling cherries from the farm gate with an honesty box, but soon with word of mouth we realised that we needed something more permanent and now have a manned stall open 7 days a week during the short cherry season.
We grow the following varieties - Sunburst, Lapins, Colney, Stella, Summer Sun, Sweetheart, Penny and Cordia - All grown under Polly tunnels which are covered from March until all the cherries are picked.
All of the cherries are picked on the day of sale by a small band of pickers who start at 4am each morning to ensure the cherries are as fresh as possible. The early start is necessary as it can reach over 45 Celcius on a sunny day under the tunnels!

Good morning cherry lovers. Our time here is drawing to a close as we get to the end of our season here. I'm afraid to say that this weekend will be our last weekend we will be open. We estimate that we will be closing some time early next week once all the cherries are picked and sold!
Happy Sunday!!!! Our incredibly hard working pickers have been picking since 5am so that we hopefully have enough cherries for you today. Our yellow cherries are for sale today and there are only a few punnets as we only have one random tree!
If you don't eat all your cherries straight from the basket here is a recipe to use a few extras.
We have sold far above our expectations today and are very likely to sell out soon. If you are local and reading this then it may well be worthwhile delaying your visit until tomorrow..... Thanks
We are very busy selling lots of cherries on the farm today and our youngest family member wanted to drive the cherries down the drive! He also helped load cherries onto the trailer. He'll be 3 in a couple of weeks 🍒
A change of variety today - summer sun. One of our favourites (but not quite the 'big black ones' that everyone asks for!) Those will be next week.
Happy Friday 🍒🍒🍒
