Description
Itinerant cider makers.We don't have our own ground, might use yours. Mostly seedling fruit. Small batch Cider and Perry. Not economically viable 😂
Vagrant Cider was born from noticing: the derelict and unloved orchards with fruit rotting on the ground season after season. The wayside wilding blossom or autumn fruit splattered on the road. From the noticing came the sampling and cataloguing and from there, the most ridiculously uneconomic way to make cider imaginable.
We make cider as simply as possible. We use sulphur in the sterilisation of equipment and that's it. No filtration, no pasteurisation and no preservatives. Our yeasts are what's on the fruit, our equipment, the cidery walls, our hands. Nothing else. For this reason, nearly everything we make is bone dry.
