Now Finished for 2020 – See you in 2021 for pre-orders
Succulent, unique and an excellent conversation starter around the dinner table. Greengages are a really special treat this time of year, their deliciously succulent taste is perfect on it own but also in a variety of dishes. Distinctly different in flavour to many plum varieties greengages are a real seasonal treat. We would describe the flavour as gloriously reminiscent of honey but with a lovely fruity freshness.
Enjoy the delicious taste of British Greengages by ordering directly from Roughway Farm. Currently Available in weights of 2kg and 3kg
Looking after your fruit: Some greengages may arrive firm. Allow firm greengages to ripen at room temperature. Once ripe or if they arrive ripe keep refrigerated in salad draw if not enjoying your greengage straight away.
History:
‘Green Gages’ were named after Sir William Gage, 7th Baronet, they were first imported by Sir William into Britain in 1724 and became established as a luxury fruit. Greengages were later established in the newly independent USA and grown by George Washington. A significant number of cultivars have been established in the UK ranging from Cambridge Gage to Laxton’s Supreme.

My cherries arrived today. A big box full of ripe glistening jewels. They are wonderful, big sweet & juicy, nothing to beat English Cherries. Thank you for making them available to buy online. Phil.

Okay Cherries. Definitely fresh, a little on the soft side and not as sweet as I was expecting.
Gone back to sweeter supermarket cherries.
