Colin Vincent makes cider from many apple varieties from his own orchards, supplemented by other local apple supplies. Haye Farm cider is made the traditional way and is still pressed through straw. Dry, Medium and Sweet versions of the cider are available, sold in 1, 2 or 5 litre containers from the farm - or at the nearby Lerryn Stores and Penhaligons off-licence.

St Veep, Lerryn, Lostwithiel, Cornwall PL22 0PB

Directions by road: Reached along the narrow Cornish lanes typical of the area - drive with caution! From the A390 at Lostwithiel, take the turning south towards the village of Lerryn (about 3 miles). Cross the bridge and turn right, taking the road south towards St Veep. Just before you reach St Veep, you should see the "cider" sign directing you to take a right hand turn. Follow the side road for about half a mile - it's steep, bendy and narrow - drive slowly in case you meet a tractor coming the other way! The farm is on the left. The cider sales are through the gate to the left of the farmhouse (not the other one!) - ring the bell for service.

This delectable cider is from Haye Farm Cider, based in St Veep, near Lerryn, in Cornwall. The local pub, the Ship Inn, sells it by the pint, and it's one of the nicest ciders there is in my opinion. On first sip, my first thought was "Calvados!" - it's got that intense apple flavour that many ciders seem to lack, despite being made from apples. It's not made on a huge scale, and you can tell - this is real 'craft' cider, and well worth hunting down. (Tom)

Colin Vincent was recovering from a tractor accident when I visited Haye Farm, but that didn't stop him from having a friendly chat over a sample or two of his excellent ciders. (Paul Gunningham)
