Cobnut Cards
During the Winter, Kentish Cobnut plantations (platts) are transformed into magical and serene environments. We are delighted to offer you a unique snapshot of these heritage and beautiful Kentish landscapes in the Winter’s snow.
Our unique card packs feature a reproduction of a wonderful oil painting by Kentish landscape artist Jane Cannon.
Jane specialises in painting rural farming landscapes and identifies with the landscape tradition in British romantic and neo romantic art exemplified by artists such as Samuel Palmer and Paul Nash. Jane also look’s to the realism found in the work of artists such as J F Millet. See more of Jane’s work here
The painting on our cards shows a historic multi-stem cobnut plat in the snow. These trees have been pruned in the traditional style with gnarled knuckles at the top of the stems forming the main cropping area during harvest.
Send a snapshot of Kent and British farming to a loved one, friend or colleague.

2024 Harvest – Dispatching – Late Season SALE – Husks Brown / Golden – Kernel full of flavour
Allow to air on arrival as the cobs have been kept cool for large kernels this may mean the husks are damp. The husks can be less attractive this time of the season so dehusked is also available.
Our fresh Green / Golden Cobnuts are widely renowned for their full flavour, they are perfect in dishes or simply on their own. Cobnuts have a nationally recognised nutritional profile and are said to be fantastic sources of protein:
Cobnut kernels typically contain 12%-17% protein by dry weight, and about 10%-15% fibre. Cobnuts are very rich in vitamin E and in calcium, typically containing about 21mg and 141mg per 100g kernel (dry weight) respectively. They provide about 0.4mg and 0.55mg of vitamins B1 and B6 respectively per 100g dry weight.
Our Cobnuts are available in weights ranging from 500g to 20kg and are harvested between August and October.
Multi Orders: We now offer improved delivery rates but please note if you order or preorder different varieties of cobnut (Kent, Gunslebert, Ennis, Butler) or multiple items we will dispatch them together when all are available as we no longer charge delivery fees per item. Please order fresh fruit separately as most fruits are harvested before cobnut season.

Potted Gunslebert Cobnut Trees – Out of Stock
We now have a number of Gunslebert Cobnut trees available in 7 Litre pots – We are out of 3 litre Gunslebert Cobnut trees. These trees are on British grown roots and are suitable for planting most places in the UK.
These are ideal for planting and producing high yielding trees. Many garden centers currently sell seedling trees and these usually yield very few cobnuts. These trees are the same trees that we grow on the farm and if properly maintained should produce a good crop of Kent Cobnuts.
Cobnuts are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. In winter the catkins on the trees brighten up the trees.
Two varieties are deemed preferable for pollination but not essential as common hedge row nut can assist with pollination.
The trees do vary in size and shape but are generally between 30cm and a meter. We cannot guarantee the size of the trees selected for delivery but every care is taken to select a good tree.
On Arrival:
We advise watering the pot and planting promptly into the ground or into a large pot for later planting if required. The pot should have room to allow further root growth. The tree will need a healthy watering over the first few days.
If planting dig a hole twice the size of the pot and tease out the roots.Make sue that the root ball is level and not at an angle. Water regularly and monitor.
The aim after this point will be to manage the growth of branches. These should be allowed to form at least 60cm from the ground.
A useful pruning and management guide is available from the Kent Cobnut Association. Click Here

We have a limited range of white cherries on the farm. They are an eclectic mix of varieties that are generally lighter in appearance and are a charming mix of reds and yellows on the outer skin. White cherries taste different to black/dark red cherries, they are still sweet but the flesh is a mixture of oranges, whites and yellows, they are ever so slightly reminiscent of a peach or nectarine but the flavour is still distinctly that of a cherry. They are certainly worth trying!
White cherries can still be red on the outside! So do not be shocked if you have a box of light red cherries. The more common difference is that the flesh inside the cherry is white / yellow opposed to red, purple or black. We could send any variety of white cherry we have so pictures are for display only.
Supply and availability – We have a very limited number of white cherry varieties on the farm. So our supply will be limited. We will be dispatching orders in the order they are received.
We may have to refund your order if we get more orders than supply. So please be aware to avoid disappointment.
