good measure. Eric and his parents own the acclaimed hotel and
restaurant Titchwell Manor and this will be an addition to the family
business.
Hunstanton Ice Cream Company will also be on site throughout the
season, serving up some amazing flavours to tantalise any discerning
palette using fruit from our farm. Can it get anymore exciting?
Drove owner Andrew Jamieson says: “Drove Orchards is becoming
a real destination. There's something for everyone, and it doesn't stop
there! We are doubling the size of the kitchen garden for seasonal
vegetables and the Apple Ladies of Kolomna will be working on
product development for our own Drove Orchards jams, chutney and
pastila. Our range of juices is being expanded and our own cider will
be introduced this year. We’ll also be holding four Food and Craft
Markets at Drove this year, including one on our annual Apple Day on
September 27th.”
