Real Cider is just fresh pressed fermented juice 100%. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Cheers!
Bray cider just off the M5 in Somerset. You can’t get much more of a cider farm experience here. Small scale producers doing things right the traditional way - also great little farm shop on site too ✌️
Was recently in Gloucestershire and with the fam, and found this lovely little drop at Apple orchard campsite - their own cider! Def stronger than 6.5%. If that doesn’t sell it enough they also have a baby donkey 🫏 called Bella x

Stunning from Welsh Mountain Cider, over six years since pressing & evolves into something even better than the last time I tasted it. Bravo 🥂

Ciderincider will be pouring local ciders - sparkling keg and still BIB’s - and a few bottles perhaps - hoping the sun comes out 🙏

As spring approaches, we look forward to our favourite time of the year, #OrchardBlossomDay!
Blossom Day is an annual celebration of fruit trees, flowers and food in our wonderful orchards.

More apple trees lost.
Electricity for cold storage +300% on last year, labour +15% and rising again in April.
"Input prices (picking, energy, haulage packaging etc) +23%. Prices paid by supermarkets +0.8%" (say BAPL).
Once gone, forever gone 😢

Sadly this is a reality we can't change whilst multiple retailers have too much power. The artisan producer of full-juice cider is even more hammered relative to those (the vast majority) producing watered-down versions of cider.

Great afternoon yesterday - walking around Stanmer park and ending up visiting @BPTpermaculture fruit factory. The scrumpy is lovely. Sharp, zingy and full bodied!

Apple harvest 2022 finished! This year was beset with challenges:
Hail
Equipment breakdowns
DOL audits, etc.
But we made it through safely! We hosted a celebratory dinner for our workers before they left for their next jobs. ❤️

Apple harvest happening. A good but not great crop this year due to heavy necessary pruning last winter. Next year should see a marked improvement, as long as weather cooperates at appropriate times.

‘There’s hundreds [of apples] on the trees and it looks like we’re going to have a good year.’
GB News’ Jeff Moody speaks to Bill Meaden from Cranborne Chase Cider about a positive apple harvest season.

A long read but worth it for the flavour of this years apple (and perry pear) harvest. Some good things to come!
Cider harvest season is upon us, which makes it the perfect time to dive into @JonnyGarrett’s story where he heads to Herefordshire and visits esteemed cider makers @LittlePomona and @oliverscider. Read now: bit.ly/3OfLNMk

Another 2.5 tonnes of apples pressed today which would otherwise be wasted 😊 #recycle #propercider
