Cider Making


Following the success of our home made perry last autumn we're now going to try our hand at cider making! We've found the source of our apples; an organic orchard just outside of Hastings. The apple harvest is at the beginning of October, so full coverage coming soon... Can't wait!

When to a pummy ground
You squeeze out all the juice Sir,
Then fill a cask well bound
And set it by for use Sir,
Oh, let the cider flow
In Ploughing and in sowing - 
The healthiest drink I know,
In reaping and in mowing.
Old Devonshire ballad
