The Honey's Cider Story

We are a family run business who proudly make a scrumptious full bodied craft cider using classic Somerset apple varieties and traditional techniques.
We love every part of our cider making process from pressing the apples in the autumn to drinking and selling it in the spring.  ​

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE APPLES

When the Honeys bought the farm in Midford near Bath back in 1960, the old maps – like so many in Somerset – had ‘orchard’ marked on several grass paddocks. It took 42 years, but in 2002 we revived that tradition by planting traditional Somerset grazed orchards, which are of potentially big, widely spaced trees giving the sheep and cattle shade and shelter.  In return they provide fertility to the orchard soil. 

In this age of globalization, we're proud to be part of the glorious regional heritage of West Country Cider.  We are working closely with other sustainable local orchards to preserve the rich tradition for generations to come.
