About St Andrew's

St Andrew (of the Apple Orchard) is a small rural parish set in the heart of the Island of Guernsey, it is the only one of the Island's 10 parishes without a coastline. It covers an area of 4.4 sq.km and has a population of around 2,400.

Its sheltered valleys have always supported agricultural activity and in the past large areas were used as orchards for the production of cider apples (La Pommeraye of the parish name).

The parish is home to two dairy farms, one being the Island's only organic dairy unit and the other being a leader in the field of environmental and biodiversity enhancement.

The parish is pleased to have a cider orchard which produces apples for the local "Rocquette" cider, an enterprise established in recent years.
