Canterbury Cider is a family business and the whole family are involved – we all pitch in to make our cider what it is. The Maylam family have always made small batch cider - Robert’s father, Peter, produced cider in old sherry barrels at the sunken farm yard at Bilting Grange farm. We are currently exploring the old recipes he used to produce a cider wine in the same way. Robert decided to follow in his father’s foot steps and worked on the farm initially as a shepherd the age of 16. He started making cider in 2015 as a hobby; from this, Basher cider was produced. He now runs P & R.P Maylam Farming and Canterbury Cider with his wife Catherine and eldest son George, who returned to the farm from university to work with his parents.
