The orchard is of around 0.7 hectares (1.75 acres) where app. 700 fruit trees are plantet. The main part are apples and pears, but we also have 30 cherry and 30 plum trees along with 10 hazel nut bushes. If you wish to hear more about our fruit trees, you are welcome to contact us.

 
       
  We have in cooperation with a bee keeper placed a number of
bee hives around within the orchard to ensure pollination in the spring.
