Drink Local, Save Orchards

Local Fox cider is made from 100% rescued fruit, otherwise destined for compost. We press in small batches, using the traditional rack-and-cloth method, with the juice naturally fermenting over winter. All of the profits are channelled back into buying tools and providing training for community orchards!
Since we opened the door of our apple juice and cider press in 2016, we’ve rescued over 38 tonnes of unwanted apples and pears, and turned them into delicious, unique drinks. We have trained 1300 volunteers in the art of craft cider making, and given back £13,700 worth of cider, tools, and support to the community. We have engaged 17 orchards and hosted 171 events.
