What we do
See how we can help you with your 2021 apple harvest

Picking
Ideally we require all your apples to be gathered in one spot ready to be processed, the cleaner they are the better.

We Scrub
We wash the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt, insects and harmful bacteria that could harm and affect the cider or juice.

We Smash
To enable us to get that lovely juice from your apples, we then Mill (grind) the apples. You will end up with a juicy mush of apples known as “Pomace”.

We Squeeze
Now we use our very efficient press to get that lovely apple juice from the Pomace. The juice will now begin to pour until we cannot get any more.
Reap the benefits
You can now have your own, healthy and delicious apple juice or your own unique traditional cold pressed cider! You can brew this yourself, or we can do this for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are sure you probably have a question that we have failed to cover here, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or on the phone and we will see if we can help.
A tasty Cider or juice can be made from almost any apples. In the West Country we are fortunate to have a wide variety of specific Cider apples which can make single variety brews. Without getting to technical, Cider in its most basic form can be made from a quantity mixture of a quarter of bitter (cookers) and three quarters desert apples (eaters). Crab apples are ideal for adding extra taste by virtue of their high Tannin content.
We can always help out by blending your brew with others to produce a more interesting taste!
Good apple juice is made from your best dessert apples.
