About us
How Godshill Orchards came to be...
In 2003 the husbandry of the enterprise passed in to the hands of the Medway family. The medway family came originally from West Wight, where Reginald Davis Medway and Edward Medway were well known names as master builder and church warden.
The venture was conceived, planned & implemented by two well known, distinguished entrepreneurs in 1992, Steve Jaggers of St. Lawrence & Graham Smith of Ventnor.
Godshill today
The present owners have formed a partnership with the Pierce family and continue to improve the proud record of cherry production on the island.
Godshill Orchards make a small, but significant, contribution to the island economy. The orchard consists of 4000 trees and varieties including Colney, Hertford, Kordia, Regina, Lapins, Merton Merchant, Merton Glory, Stella, Summit and Sunburst.
