Gould Cider make fine ciders, perries, ice ciders, brandies, fruit juices and vinegars in small batches from West Country Heritage fruit grown in Grampound.
The orchard sits in the Fal Valley on a South West facing slope. It is managed traditionally with no spraying, no fertiliser and no glyphosate. The orchard is rich in biodiversity, and the inhabitants of some 40 or 50 bird nest boxes provide pest control! The orchard is currently undergoing the rigorous process of Organic Certification.
There are about 1200 apple trees of some 80 varieties, half of which are choice Breton strains. Brittany apples have exceptional flavours and thrive in our cool moist Cornish winters. The perry pear orchard (possibly the only one in Cornwall) has rare and endangered British varieties including Coppy, Yellow Huffcap and Stinking Bishop.
