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

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 😢 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ke…

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. theguardian.com/business/202…

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.

A fascinating story from the BBC about the history of Basque cider and its connection to the region's nautical past: bbc.com/travel/article/20220…

How a drink fuelled a sea-faring people

Cider is a staple in the Spain's Basque Country, and its fascinating story goes hand in hand with the Basque desire to conquer the seas.
