Getting involved
Join in protecting this wonderful piece of English countryside
The Standen Fruit Farm Community Association is a UK charity that works to maintain this historic Kentish orchard. It’s run entirely by volunteers who give up their time to ensure that the 50+ acres provide a haven for wildlife and that the extensive number of apple and cherry trees are looked after for the benefit of all.
We welcome new members to the Association who share the ideals of the founders who had the vision to protect this important site in the 1980s.
Apple Day 2023
The Trustees of the Standen Fruit Farm regret that this year's Apple Day has been cancelled.
The date we had selected clashed with too many other events taking place in the area, so we could not persuade stall holders and others to provide the entertainment that's become traditional. Add to that the fact that the apple crop has matured far earlier than usual, and we felt that it's better to cancel the 2023 event and start working on a bigger, better, brighter Apple Day in 2024. The Association's AGM will now take place on 15 October at Iden Green Pavilion.
Volunteer! There are so many ways to lend a helping hand
We always need volunteers for winter pruning of trees through to apple picking in the autumn.
We welcome new volunteers to the small family that ensures Standen Street Fruit Farm is maintained for today and for future generations.
