Description
Touchwood Cornish Cider is the result of a long-term project by proprietor Nigel Smith to reinstate apple growing and cider making on hissmall farm in Cornwall. When he first came to the farm in 1984 there was an old granite circular trough in the yard, which had been used for crushing apples and a cider barn, but no apple tress were left. He has been busy planting apple trees ever since.
