David Upson, together with his wife Rebecca run Stoke Farm Orchards in Battisford, Suffolk. The small Suffolk orchard has become internationally renowned for its award-winning Appletree Hill brand of freshly-pressed apple, pear and quince juices. David and Rebecca, originally started out as pig farmers in 1984. And even when they started to grow fruit, the idea to turn it into juice wasn’t sparked until 1993 as part of a BBC Radio Suffolk visit to the Battisford orchard.Today Stoke Farm is famed for using the quintessentially English, and notoriously juicy, Discovery and Cox apples. And the business still keeps the Upsons’ busy every day with the couple taking control of every stage of production - from blossom to bottle.Stoke Farm Orchards has been pressingly busy in the run up to Christmas 2014 creating a limited edition Spiced Apple Juice.Available in selected East of England Co-op stores in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk at £2.49 for a 750ml bottle. It is delicious served warmed.
