Hello! We have orchards. We pick up apples and pears and squash them. We wait impatiently for the juice to do something interesting in tanks and barrels, then put it into bottles, bag-in-boxes, kegs, and cans. We've won awards and we've just opened a webshop: www.templecider.co.uk/temple-cider... 😊
Our Hendre Huffcap & Blakeney Red Perry 2023 is at the fabulous @b33r-at-33.bsky.social in Bolton!

Our favourite apple variety: Yarlington Mill.
The apples are generally smaller this year, and not producing so much juice - presumably due to the long hot summer. The taste is wonderful though, and that's what matters.

Dreary Mondays need new cider!
This is the first time we've put a Whisky Barrel Aged cider into bag-in-box. Also the first time we've done it as a medium-dry.
Nice! 🍻

Only one keg remaining of our Coat Jersey 2021 single varietal, live, naturally sparkling cider.
It's been a really popular one. 🍻

Yesterday was National Apple Day.
We did not participate.
We are, by this point in the harvest, quite frankly, sick of the sight of them. 😅

A huge Hendre Huffcap perry pear. Some are quite tiny, and then you get monsters like this one.
Picking them up would be much easier if they were all monsters! 😅

Bloody Ploughman is a stunning-looking apple. This is one of the trees we planted around the farm buildings not long after we moved to Temple Farm. Looking back to when we planted those trees, we had no clue that 10 years later we'd be 'Temple Cider'.

Photos from our pear harvesting yesterday.
Harvest 2025 has begun!
We started with Hellen's Early, but then realised the Thorn perry pears were slightly riper so moved on to harvesting Thorn instead.
First two photos are the Thorn, and in the final photo Hellen's Early are in the foreground.
Many more hauls like this to come!

We've just sold out of BiB perry, so no more available until the pears we'll be starting to pick this week have been transformed into this magical drink. Hope you're feeling patient! 🙃
We do still have perry in kegs, cans and bottles, of course, for those who can't wait. 😌
