FOUR ELMS   

14 VARIETIES OF APPLES 

A RANGE OF 7 SINGLE VARIETY APPLE JUICES 

November - January

As we now enter the new year I would firstly like to thank all of our customers for their ongoing support of FOUR ELMS! We can't do it without you - THANK YOU.

RAIN. We have all been talking about it...who left the tap on up there?? The weather has been relentless and the ground is saturated. I consider us more fortunate than some, our soil is sandy and drains better than most. After hearing of tons and tons of apples washing down a river in Hereforshire it could be worse... However, we have had our own battles extracting our cider fruit (mainly Dabinett) from the orchard. Lets just say there is work to be done restoring parts of the farm from mud pits back to productive orchards.

Overall (with exception to the last apples) most of the harvest went smoothly! Since then we have been busy grading our way through the crop and packing ready for the markets. 

Alongside the apple packing runs the pressing room. This is where we mill and bottle our full range of apple juices. Mark has been busy filling bottles and it looks to be another year of quality, delicious juices!

As many of you will be aware we launched our new cider in 2019. Well there's more good news as our third line is currently fermenting away and looks to be bottled in the spring. We look forward to introducing 'HILLS' a sweet, sparkling cider.
