our roots
Sheffield Fruit Trees is a social enterprise fruit tree nursery based in Meersbrook, South Sheffield. We also have an orchard and nursery site in Moss Valley as part of Sheffield Organic Growers.
We developed as an offshoot of the Abundance urban fruit-harvesting project back in 2014 and have been operating independently since 2017. We consider Abundance as our sister project - you can find out more about them here.
We cultivate a wide variety of fruit trees and other perennial edible plants - specialising in trees suitable for a Northern climate and fruit varieties unique to Sheffield that you won’t find anywhere else.
We are committed to an ecologically-conscious approach and use only naturally-occurring nutrients and sprays to keep our trees healthy.
We also offer various workshops throughout the year;
- Winter and summer pruning
- Bench grafting in February/March
Every month we also run a volunteer workday on our Moss Valley site. Let us know if you want to get involved!
Being a very small team and working on a part time basis, we may be a little slow at replying to your emails, so hang tight. And do check out the ADVICE and COLLECTION & DELIVERY section; there’s some good stuff in there.
