Welcome to Once Upon A Tree & Dragon Orchard

Simon Day in the Orchard

2009 Flavours of Herefordshire - Drinks Producer of the Year Award - Highly CommendedWe launched Once upon A Tree in May 2008, producing fine Cider, Perry and Apple Juice, all estate grown and bottled at Dragon Orchard in Putley, Herefordshire.

Dragon Orchard is a small traditional fruit farm that has been tended by the same family for over 80 years. They have been innovative in championing local food and over the past few years has helped bridge the gap between producers and consumers with the Cropsharers and Sponsor A Tree scheme, please click to find out more.

We're proud to have won many awards in such a short space of time, and I'm delighted to report that we have had to increase production this year to keep up with demand!  Have a look at the Flavours of Herefordshire 2009 Food Festival Video here to get a feel for the shows we get involved with.

Cheers!
