NEW FOREST CIDER

Hampshire, BH24 4ED
Tel: 01425 403589

Cider making was part
of the New Forest Commoner's way of life on
their holdings for generations, and at Little
Mead, Burley, this old-fashioned craft of cider
making has been revived.
|
|
 |
Using their own local orchard apples, together
with fruit gathered from traditional cider
orchards, the fruit is pressed during October,
November and December when the different
varieties become ripe. After fermentation, the
cider is blended into freshly emptied whisky
barrels to enhance the flavour.
Our aim is to produce an
interesting draught cider that is a pure
undiluted drink, free from artificial colouring
and flavouring. You may sample our range of
ciders and perry straight from the barrels. We
also sell locally made preserves, handmade
pottery and forest photos by Barry Whitcher.
