Description
Almost 70 years after the family’s ancestors started farming at Pine Trees Farm, Rob Payne became the 5th generation to join the family business.

The fruit industry, particularly for smaller farms, is a struggling sector in UK agriculture, but Rob was determined to find a way to pay his wage and continue farming.

Making cider seemed like a natural progression. Using apples grown on the farm, Rob made his first small batch of cider in 2009 to sell at local farmers’ markets.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB. Aroma almost of white wine, white grape, green apple and leather. The aroma does not really follow through on the taste. Slightly watery with no carbonation. It is a dry finish.
