About
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.

Box @ Two Halves, Margate. Golden cider with a low and easy texture and strength, but it's very salted with lots of caramel, so I don't expect anyone to be making a session with this.

Box @ Ales of the unexpected, Margate. Pale red with the cherry just about usurping its apple, but the blend works well here. Is sweet tasting.
