Orchard Pig Ground Force

Would you like to see your orchard glowing with health, the trees laden with fruit and the bees buzzing? Would you like to have your apples made into juice for you and your friends to enjoy? Would you like to plant a new orchard, or would you like to see an income from the fruit your orchard produces?

Orchard Pig Ground Force can help with all of these things.

We are passionate about orchards, and their place in the landscape. We know a lot about growing fruit and we are enthusiastic about helping other people. We are working, with others, to put Somerset back on the map as the centre of apple growing, with its associated wildlife and heritage.

We manage over 900 acres of orchards for their owners, which involves pruning, planting, picking, harvesting, bees, grants and general care.

Orchard Pig Ground Force is based at West Bradley in Somerset, UK.

If you would like to talk to us about your orchard, please give us a call on 01458 850154 or email orchardgroundforce@googlemail.com

Changing our look!

Orchard Pig Ground Force has changed its name, and it has a new logo to go with it. We are part of Orchard Pig and soon we will be able to reveal a whole new range of Orchard Pig drinks that our fruit goes into.

School visits

We love having schools to visit us. Children get a huge amount of fun out of the orchard and we really enjoy seeing them learn.

We teach them about the life cycle of our apples and the plant and animal life that is so important to the biodiversity of our planet. Sometimes we build bug hotels like this one for all the different insects to inhabit.

For more information please see the School visits tab.
