Lathcoats Farm

**Lathcoats Farm: Where Heritage Meets the Freshest Flavours of Essex** For four generations, Lathcoats Farm has been growing the finest English apples and summer fruits—now shared with you through its sunlit Farm Shop and charming Bee Shed Coffee House. Nestled in the heart of Essex (Beehive Lane, CM2 8LX), this family-run farm is a celebration of tradition, taste, and the simple joy of eating well. Step into a story that began over a century ago. Today, Lathcoats cultivates more than 40 varieties of crisp, hand-picked apples alongside vibrant summer fruits—all available for picking or purchase in their inviting Farm Shop. But this is more than just a farm; it’s a carefully curated experience. The shop brims with fresh, seasonal produce from their own orchards and trusted local suppliers: think plump berries, artisan meats, pantry staples, and thoughtful gifts. Every item tells a story of Essex’s rich soil and the people who nurture it. The Bee Shed Coffee House is where farm-fresh becomes unforgettable. Here, the day’s harvest transforms into hearty meals, served in a space designed for slow mornings and lingering afternoons. It’s luxury without pretence—just honest food, beautifully presented. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here; it’s the family’s legacy. From blossom to basket, every step honours the land and the community it feeds. Come for the fruit. Stay for the flavour. Lathcoats Farm isn’t just a destination—it’s the taste of Essex, waiting to be discovered. *(Opening times and visitor details available at the Farm Shop.)*
