Unfortunately our cider supplies have run dry! However with our own juice press and a group of enthusiastic volunteers we are looking to restart production. The winter of 09/10 will see a new traditional cider orchard planted on the farm, with the aim of making authentic cider in years to come.

Cider Update (06/03/10): The new cider orchard has been planted! We have planted three traditional cider varieties: Dabinett, Harry Masters Jersey, and Herefordshire Redstreak. There is one row of twenty trees for each variety. The trees will take several years to mature but we look forward to using the bittersweet apples in years to come.

In actual fact we already have some cider on its way. Last year's pressing has been slowly fermenting over the winter and is promising to be a very drinkable cider. We hope to be able to bottle it in a few months time so not long to wait now!
