Description
I am Steve Hughes, a farmer’s son with an MBA. Ex factory worker. Not scared of hard work. Rosie was our Jack Russell and used to help me plant the orchard. A brilliant little dog whose name lives on.
After my initial 5 gallons of cider made in 2005, I started planting up cider orchards. We now have over 1000 standard apple trees made up of 69 different varieties, all trying their best to cling on at 1000 feet above sea level. I have now got a feel for those apple varieties that work well up here (and the ones that rather wish they lived further South).
