Oakwood Farm, located in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, is a Soil Association-certified organic orchard run by Matthew and Carol Wilson. While primarily known for their extensive range of organic heritage apples and premium pressed juices, they also produce small, traditional batches of English Organic Cider and Perry.

Oakwood has been an orchard since 1947 and has been in Matthew Wilson’s family since 1951 when his grandad purchased the land and passed it down to his son- Matthew’s father. Oakwood is located in Robertsbridge, East Sussex and comprises of 93 acres including roughly 25 acres of woodland and hedgerows. Matthew has lived here his whole life and decided to convert to organic practises in 1997 for two major reasons: dislike of the direction the industry was heading in and feeling pushed down the supermarket route. Matthew perceived the organic route would be more tailored to independent wholesalers and growers and much preferred this option. They completed the process in 2000.
