Quick info
About Lathcoats Farm
Lathcoats Farm is a farm shop and pick-your-own fruit farm on Beehive Ln in Chelmsford. Visitors pick fruit on the farm, and the shop sells local produce. The Halloween trail and pumpkin patch brings a large selection of pumpkins to choose from. Apple Day is a seasonal event built around apple tasting and apple juice tasting, with plenty of food and drink stalls. A café serves lunch, so a visit can include a meal alongside the picking. Other seasonal events run through the year, and animals on the farm are open to see.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return mostly for the seasonal events, with Apple Day described as brilliant and well organised for the whole family. The Halloween trail, pumpkin patch and fruit picking come close behind, along with friendly staff and well looked after animals. One reviewer found the apple juice tasting too crowded to try and noted a lack of toilets near the Halloween section. Another praised the local produce in the farm shop.

“We've visited Lathcoats Farm quite a few times over the years with the kids and always have a lovely time. The fruit picking is great fun, and we also enjoy visiting the farm shop, having lunch in the café and coming along to the seasonal events. It's a really nice place to spend a few hours as a family, with a friendly atmosphere and plenty to enjoy. Always a pleasure to visit and somewhere we're happy to keep coming back to. Highly recommended!”

“2nd visit this year, brilliant time. The staff are so friendly and informative. I do think the apple tasting should be better organised, some people go round, some people jump in...it needs to be a little smoother and calmer. The apple juice tasting - I didn't get to try any this year as it was so busy! Perhaps put drinks tasting somewhere else? The food and drink were amazing, lots of variety of stalls. Lack of toilets was an issue, especially when by the halloween section.”
