Manor Farm Fruits is situated in the picturesque village of Hints in Staffordshire, just 3 miles from Tamworth and 6 miles from Lichfield.

We are one of Staffordshire's longest established soft fruit growers; the farm has been owned and run by the Clarke family for the last three generations. With over 85 acres of strawberries, raspberries and other soft fruit we have been supplying the major multiples for the last ten years. In addition to this, we are one of the few remaining 'Pick Your-Own' fruit farms in the area, having first opened our strawberry fields to the public back in 1973!

We pride ourselves in growing fruit of the highest quality and with more fruit grown under polythene tunnels, the season now extends from May until October.

We grow a wide range of varieties of both strawberries and raspberries offering subtle differences in both flavour and appearance.

Once picked, all fruit is immediately packed in our own state-of the-art packhouse and kept at an optimum temperature in a refrigerated unit.  Our aim is to ensure that fruit is picked, packed and despatched on the same day.

On Monday, 11th August 2008 we were delighted to have a visit from a film crew for Central TV yesterday, along with Celebrity Chef Gino D'Acampo (from Ready Steady Cook fame) and Luke Tipping from Simpsons Restaurant in Edgbaston.  They were here to film a short piece for a new programme called 'Real Cooks' which will be shown on Central TV on Monday, 25th August 2008 at 8pm.

The programme is all about two members of the public cooking their own signature dish and then being given feedback before the experts have a go at their own version of the same dish.  As we already supply Simpsons Restaurant with fruit, they were keen to come and select their fruit for the dessert.  Will it be strawberries or raspberries....you'll have to watch the programme to find out?
So, look out for our raspberries and strawberries on the programme soon!
