Description
Cider was a hobby until 2015, now it is very much family life.

We made our first batch of cider as most do - from the apple tree in our garden. Turns out we were born to be cider makers! We started Napton Cidery the very next year, with the sole mission to collect unwanted apples from our village and surrounding orchards to make something wonderful. From pressing a simple 2000 litres in 2015, we now press over 90,000 litres per year, all sourced from small, traditional orchards in Herefordshire to support sustainable British farming.
