Preserving nature & healthy futures

Our Vision

Environment,
Growing with Nature

Insects play a big part in making what we do successful, so we have to ensure that we pay nature back by encouraging them to stay with us. We do this in ways such as creating ‘Insect Hotels’ and building little hiding places and woodland retreats with the excess wood from the old orchards.  We create habitats where the insects can thrive, so they are all buzzing with joy.

The OrchardWorld brand relies on the natural elements to grow high-quality fruit — it’s at the heart of everything we do. While not always visible to consumers, our commitment to sustainability runs deep. From recycling waste and generating energy, to encouraging biodiversity and designing packaging that protects both our fruit and the environment, we’re always striving to make a difference.

Zero Waste,
Our Responsibility

All of our growers have their own unique and amazing stories. One of our key growers has an AD (Anaerobic Digestion) plant which utilises by-products from the growing and production processes.  This in turn creates energy to power the farm and packhouses, striving towards our zero-waste targets. We also use excess wood as plant bedding for soft fruit.

We hold a clear vision: to provide, protect, and care. That means looking after our workers, supporting local communities, reducing our carbon footprint, and upholding the highest standards in health and safety. Every step we take is guided by a deep respect for people and the planet.
Packaging,
A Shared Vision
Our biggest challenge is packaging. We want our products to be supplied in environmentally friendly packaging whilst at the same time protecting the fruit. Different categories and varieties require different levels of protection and we need to ensure that our produce endures the pressures of the supply chain. As you can imagine, this is an ongoing challenge, and we have a dedicated team busy working in the background to find solutions to this. We have already come a long way, with about half of our range in environmentally friendly, recyclable packaging. At OrchardWorld, our team is united by a shared purpose — to build a better future together. Rooted in strong business ethics, we aim to be a force for good within our industry and community. Here, we’ll continue to share our evolving vision and roadmap, as we grow with intention and inspire others to do the same.

Possibilities For The Future

This year, we are planning to create a recipe book, taking our brand to the next level to give you even more passion and inspiration on other ways to use our fruit.  This is work in progress.

Eventually, we would like to run an e-commerce site so that you can order your produce direct from OrchardWorld, meaning fresher fruit, longer shelf life and a dedicated service. You can’t say ‘fresher’ than that.
