Cropsharers gathered for the toast!

In 2001 Dragon Orchard Cropsharers was launched in a post foot and mouth diseased Herefordshire countryside.  Last weekend some ten years later, over 120 people gathered in the orchard to celebrate a decade of Cropsharing and to enjoy the links between people, place and produce.  Orchard activities included bee-keeping, budding and music-making with poetry walks and cider production also included.

Pouring Carpenters CroftOnce Upon A Tree’s fabulous new Tumpy Ground Draught Cider provided excellent lubrication and Carpenters Croft celebratory sparkling cider was the perfect drink for the toast to the next ten years.
