HOW WE MAKE CIDER

At the Bere Cider Company we use age old traditional cider making techniques. Our product range is made from 100% English cider apples, many of which we grow in our own orchards.

OUR ORCHARDS

We currently run around 5 acres of orchard growing a total of around 10 commercial varieties. We also source within a 10 mile radius additional apples from local farmers orchards. Most of our varieties are traditional cider apples known as ‘bittersweet’ or ‘bittersharp’. These apples are chosen for cider-making for their fibrous nature which makes them easy to press. Bittersweet apples also have high levels of tannin which is essential for producing great tasting cider.

STUNNING VIEWS

After visiting the cider farm, why not take a short walk or a drive up to the village of High Ham, with its panaramic views over open countryside from the Mendips and Glastonbury Tor to the hills on the Somerset/Wiltshire border in the east, and across Sedgemoor to the Quantocks and Bridgwater Bay in the west. The National Trust has over an acre of grass and woodlandat Turn Hill at a height of 100m looking across the Battle of Sedgemoor fields to the Quantocks and is an ideal place to put down the picnic rug, crack open your recently purchased farmhouse cider and tasty cheddar cheese and soak up the sun, views and delights of Somerset.

Coffee Shop

We have recently opened a cafeteria at the farm where you can have a coffee, hot chocolate, tea and slice of cake, a light lunch or a cream team all washed down with a pint of cider .
