Dragon Orchard Cropsharers have the opportunity to:

  • Become familiar with the yearly cycle of fruit production
  • Spend time in a lovely part of rural England
  • Sustain a tradition of orcharding that is under threat
  • Enjoy a fabulous feast of fruit throughout the autumn and winter

Dragon Orchard Cropsharers are invited to visit the orchard for an Open Weekend each season – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. The weekend includes a meal both days, orchard walks and talks, visits to other nearby producers and demonstrations from local craft workers.

Eating Apples – 2 x 10Kg box of the different varieties grown
Cooking Apples – 2 x 10Kg box and some excellent recipes for using them
