In an unending quest to maintain our environmental credentials, we teamed up with a local wildlife artist and photographer, Lilly Violet Adams, to put waste apple pressings to good use. In order to photograph and paint the local fallow deer, it was key for Lilly to get close to them but due to their shy nature being shy animals this was not always possible.

The advantage of a late Spring was we did not have any frost to potentially kill off the apple blossom. Instead the bees and insects pollinated the flowers leading to this bumper harvest in East Anglia. The hot weather experienced in June to August has meant increased flavours in the apples and consequently in our cider, possibly the tastiest this century? The long dry spell though had an adverse affect and that is on the size of the apples. The wild apple ..read more
