About

Traditional real cider made with enthusiasm in Framfield. It’s flat, it’s still, it’s unfiltered, it’s wild fermented and slow matured in small batches. We leave it alone for months and months and let nature do it’s thing. We also make amazing vinegar and Sussex's answer to calvados - Spirit of Cider.

Join us for a guided tour and tasting, a picking day, our annual Wassail or one of our summer tap nights with live music and food.

All our apples come from local gardens and orchards from villages across East Sussex, swapped for cider. Hand-picked and we press them on sunny autumn days on the farm. Hot and sticky work, but once we’ve crushed and pressed the apples and cleaned up the mess we made, it’s essentially a lazy way to make cider, a slow way, a patient way: because we do nothing more than wait until it’s ready, which can take a very long time...
