Organic apple juice
Up until the nineteen fifities, so the story is told, Coombe Farm used to provide cider for the local constabulary who would arrive in their car and carry off several flagons. Then the old apple orchard was grubbed up under government grant aid - such were the agricultural fashions of the day. Now we have replanted the orchard with 131 trees, all old varieties, cookers, eaters and cider apples with such evocative names as slap ma girdle! The trees are just starting to produce apples which we plan to press for juice and cider or cook into crumbles.
