Virtual Orchard
Buckinghamshire
We are a small, independent producer of ciders, mead, juices and apple brandy using locally sourced fruit and honey. We pride ourselves on crafting quality products from our beautiful location by the side of the Grand Union Canal in Old Wolverton, on the edge of the new city of Milton Keynes.
Virtual Orchard Dry Cider is an award-winning traditional ‘East Anglian’ style cider produced from culinary and desert apples harvested from the remnants of forgotten orchards in and around Stony Stratford, Wolverton Mill, and other villages in North Buckinghamshire and South Northamptonshire. Virtual Orchard uses fruit, which would otherwise be left to go to waste, to produce wonderfully fruity, fresh and traditional products.
The Virtual Orchard is now made up of over 60 locations, possibly as many as 100, in and around Milton Keynes which are home to anything from a single tree up to 90 trees. All bar one of these orchards are privately owned and none of the trees been treated with herbicides or pesticides. The fruit therefore, and the cider, are as natural as they could possibly be... just as nature intended.
Recently we have started working closely with a nearby commercial orchard which produces high quality fruit. This partnership will allow us to add some new and exciting ciders to our range, including some single varietal limited edition ciders. Another partnership, this time with the Milton Keynes Parks Trust, will see a West Country style cider added to the range.. so watch this space.
