WM Skinner & Co, based in East Sutton, near Maidstone, has been growing fruit for Asda for 10 years. Its 20,000 hectares of orchards has delivered Gala, Russet, Windsor and Cox apples.
Asda apple expert Mike Rudge: "Apples are an essential autumn staple in every home, so we’re glad the weather has been kinder to us this year, giving us the opportunity to work with growers. As the demand for British-grown produce continues to grow, we’re challenged with looking at ways we can provide locally-sourced fruit year-round, working with our expert growers to cultivate quality produce grown on British soil.”
