Nature
Over the last ten years we have been rewilding our 33 acre farm in the North York Moors National Park.
We have created areas of new woodland and woodland pasture by planting 7,500 native, broadleaf trees.
As well as this we have created two wildlife ponds and a wetland area adjacent to the Black Beck river.
We have also planted two orchards of 500 traditional cider apple trees.
Cider
The first apple trees were planted in 2017 and they produced their first harvest in 2022.
As the trees become more established we will eventually produce up to 7,000 litres of cider and branch out into apple cider vinegar and apple juice.
The farm is pesticide and herbicide free, we only use our own apples to produce the cider using the “Method Traditionelle”. This gives us a clear cider with a natural effervescence similar to the best sparkling wines.
