About Us
Rachel’s Orchard began quite organically - from a love of good food, family traditions, and an abundance of fresh fruit brought home from the estate.
Although I grew up surrounded by exceptional home cooks and treasured family recipes, my own journey into the kitchen truly began after marriage. Wanting to create meals my family would enjoy led me to experiment more, learn more, and slowly fall in love with the process of cooking itself. Over the years, recipes passed down through generations became the foundation for a style of cooking that was both rooted in tradition and shaped by my own creativity.
From home chef to entrepreneur
My journey into juicing and preserves started in much the same way. Seasonal fruits arrived in abundance from our estate - baskets overflowing with fresh produce that was too good to waste. What began as a simple hobby soon became a passion. I started making fruit concentrates and preserves at home, first following traditional recipes and later experimenting with my own combinations and flavours.
Tradition Reimagined
I loved taking familiar recipes and giving them a fresh twist - adding unexpected ingredients, layering flavours, and creating something that felt both nostalgic and new. What started as homemade batches shared with family and friends quickly turned into special requests and repeat orders.
Family Affair
Encouraged by my husband Jerry, I eventually decided to take the leap and turn this passion into something bigger. That is how Rachel’s Orchard was born - named after my daughter Rachel, my little “chefling” and most honest critic.
Today, Rachel’s Orchard is built on the same values it started with: creating delicious, thoughtfully made products using fresh fruit and quality ingredients, without unnecessary artificial additives or colouring. Every bottle is inspired by homemade traditions, crafted with care, and made to bring people together around flavours that feel authentic, vibrant, and full of life.
