a blend of Kentish culinary and dessert apples, along

Chegworth Valley is a family owned and run
organic farm situated in the heart of the Kent
countryside near Harrietsham.
Established in 1983 by David and Linda Deme and
with the second generation now fully involved, the
farm covers over 200 acres planted with a wide
variety of apples and pears, soft fruit, vegetables
and salads.
Chegworth Valley’s award-winning range of juices
are also made on the farm using hand selected fruit
which is often pressed within hours of being picked.
The juice is pressed in small batches, every one of
which is taste-tested by a member family to ensure
the best flavour and quality possible.
As well as having two London shops and a farm
gate shop which is open seasonally, Chegworth
Valley offers next day home delivery of their
produce and juices, including fruit and vegetable
boxes throughout the whole of Kent and London.
