Dorset Nectar is an orchard farm run as a family business by Oliver, Penny and their 5 children. As well as producing award winning artisan cider and natural apple cider vinegar they have pastured hens roaming between the apple trees in the orchard producing free range organic eggs.
Dorset Nectar’s Real cider is naturally fermented from 11 varieties of West Country cider apples grown on a family run farm, from Brown’s apples to Dabinett, Coate Jerseys, Michelin, Tremletts Bitters, Taylor’s, Chesil Jerseys, Sweet Coppin, Harry Master’s Jersey, Yarlington Mills and Porter’ Perfection to name a few. The sun ripened apples are whole crushed and pressed at the orchard’s cider barn near Bridport, then patiently nurtured to create a smooth, delicious cider that is fruity in taste and bursting with flavour. To retain the crisp and fresh character of the cider, nearing the end of fermentation, they rack their ciders into new barrels, ensuring a wealth of flavour. Natural, wild yeasts are used to craft these unique ciders and the apples are grown without pesticides; the cider is certified Organic, using no sulphites.

Farmer Jim’s are a traditional cider maker producing top quality ciders on their west country farm.
Jim has been making cider for many years. “I have fond memories of helping my father and grandfather at apple harvesting time – from when I was young I used to climb the trees and shake the branches for the fruit to fall and then be gathered. We progressed to ladders and sticks, which we still use to this day, although most apple harvesting is mechanised now.”

In the autumn of 2001 Gwynt Y Ddraig made their first few barrels of cider on the home farm in Llantwit Fardre, South Wales. What started as a hobbyist’s experiment quickly became much more serious and an expanded selection of draught and oak-matured bottled ciders followed – each refined over time. The apples are picked and pressed by hand so the result is some of the finest traditional ciders available.

Since the age of fifteen, Angus Whitehead has been making the most of the fruits of his garden. Guided by recipes handed down through generations, many experiments were created using all sorts of soft and hard fruit – the airing cupboard was never the same again! The hobby grew for a few more years until it was time to think seriously about the future. Small-scale production developed with a local cider company but within a short time Angus saw the potential growth opportunities and in 2003 he decided to go it alone.

Sandford Orchards is a traditional farm business, pressing juices and ciders for an ever growing market. Their methods are simple and so is their ethos: ‘we only bottle the best’. They are a family business full of passion for their products and believe that Devon ciders and juices are the best in the world – so we want you to taste them!
They grow lots of fruit including, obviously, many varieties of cider apple, but they also have a further 20 acres of dessert fruit including pears, plums and cherries. They grow fruit on their own land and rented land, and are most proud of the orchards which they have helped to save from extinction. They also strongly support bio-diversity in their orchards because they are a permanent habitat and, as they are naturally full of trees, they support a huge number of micro-flora, fungi, mosses lichens, insects and therefore song birds, small mammals and thus predators such as badgers, foxes, owls and other large birds of prey. Most of their orchards are traditional large trees and so have an extremely important role in the winter months on stock farms. The trees provide natural shelter and because orchards have traditionally surrounded the farmhouse it means that they are the ideal place to put young stock such as calves or ewes with lambs.
Crafted from traditional Devon apples including Hangy Downs – delicious baked apple and butterscotch flavours with a rich cider finish.
