About
Welcome to Healeys! We mix apples and imagination to make delicious food and drink. Deep in the heart of the Cornish countryside, we’re a family-run farm that’s been lovingly making award-winning cyders, wines, spirits, juices, preserves, and sauces for nearly 40 years. Since planting our first trees in 1986, we've grown to become the largest independent cyder-maker in Cornwall and the first distillery for 300 years. Family owned and Cornish born and bred. Whether it’s getting to the core of great flavour or thinking outside the box, we know what it takes to make apples special. And we love welcoming visitors to the farm to discover our Healeys charm themselves.

Bottle at a ChrisO tasting - London. Pours clear with almost no colour, but if I had to choose I’d say it’s pale yellow. And no head. Woof, this dog has a rather uninviting nose, all sugary, dank and sweaty pear. Flavor is tangy-sugary pear - and not in a nice way. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Sugary finish rife with artificial pear - and sweaty man. Poor. A perry only a hard-drinkin’ perry tramp could love.
