Buy Fresh Yorkshire Rosehips – Bursting with Autumn Goodness

About the product:

Rosehips are the fruit of the wild dog rose (Rosa canina), and the Yorkshire hedgerows here on the farm grow them in abundance. They thrive in the clean northern air, where cool nights and mild days concentrate their flavour and nutrients.

Rosehips are part of the apple family of fruits.

Each rosehip is packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and that tangy flavour you just can’t fake.

This product in detail:

• It is seasonal and only available from the beginning of September for around 8 weeks.

• This is a natural product and there is variation in the size and colour of the fruits.

Why Choose Fresh Over Dried or Imported?

When you buy fresh Yorkshire rosehips, you’re getting them at their peak. They haven’t been sitting in a warehouse for months. They haven’t been flown halfway around the world. They come from real hedgerows, grown in real British soil.

• Nutrient-rich – Rosehips have up to 20 times more vitamin C than oranges.
• Versatile – Use them in syrups, teas, jams, jellies, wines, or even homemade skincare.
• Sustainable – Foraged locally with respect for nature.

How Do You Use Fresh Rosehips?

If you’ve never worked with fresh rosehips before, don’t worry—it’s easier than it looks. A quick rinse, a gentle simmer, and you can create:

• Rosehip syrup – A few drops goes amazingly well in a Gin and Tonic!.
• Rosehip tea – Fruity, tangy, and warming.
• Rosehip jelly – Perfect with cheese or game.
• Rosehip wine – Old-fashioned, but worth the patience.

The process connects you to centuries of tradition. My grandmother used to make rosehip syrup during the war, when it was given to children as a natural source of vitamin C.
