Search for ‘Heritage‘ varieties of Fruit and Vegetables
Old varieties normally taste much better (ask any gardener) because they were not bred simply for yield and are more suited to the local environment. Their growing season is longer (they are not F1 hybrids)and they keep better. We list
almost 60 great suppliers (help us find more through ‘Friends of localfoodadvisor’) of heritage apples, pears, plums, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, beans, rhubarb, plums, soft fruit, carrots, herbs and many more including many Elizabethan, Victorian and early 20th century varieties.
