Our craft cider is made with the apples we collect from gardens across Surrey and Hampshire.
We have also gratefully received beautiful cider apples from the National Trust Swan Barn Farm orchard and through the Copse Community Orchard Project South East.
We are proud winners of the ‘Best Cider of the Festival Award’ at the Farnham Cider and Sausage Festival in 2023.
In the UK we generate 9.5 million tonnes of food waste a year, with 70% coming from fruit and vegetables. We’re on a mission to take surplus apples and stop them rotting in the nation’s gardens, instead crafting them into crispy delicious cider.
This not only prevents the apples being wasted, it also reduces methane emissions which would be created during the rotting process. The apple trees themselves sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
We minimise transport emissions by batching up our collections.
When we can’t find enough local garden apples we buy from our local fruit and veg suppliers.

It feels great to be saving trees, stopping waste and ending up with a brilliant brew at the end of the day
