The Cornish Cyder Farm - formerly known as Cornish Scrumpy - are the largest Cornish Cyder maker in Cornwall and the only distillers making Apple Brandy and Fruit spirits. In fact they have Cornwall’s only distillery - the first in Cornwall for 300 years. They make over forty varieties of delicious fruit products including farm scrumpy, sparkling cyder, country wines, jam, chutneys and spirits.

In 2001, they won the the title of Supreme International Champion Cider at the ICPC International Cider & Perry Competition held in Hereford, beating 114 entries from around the world.

The Cornish Cyder Farm make strong farmhouse cider according to traditional methods. Their 'Legless But Smiling' Cornish Scrumpy is pressed from specially selected cider apple fruit such as Dabinett, Yarlington Mill and Harry Masters' Jersey grown in their own orchards.

All the cyder fruit is pressed and fermented at the farm in 25000 litre Vats. After fermentation it is left to mature prior to bottling. Master cyder maker, Mr Paul Sawford then uses his skills to blend the cyders to produce a drink worthy of carrying the Cornish Scrumpy label.

Some cyders, made from a particular variety of apple, can be so exceptional that he will divert them after fermenting into our wooden oak barrels for further maturation. It was a cyder such as this that won the International Cider and Perry Competition held in Hereford in 2001.
