Heavy
Horses Cider
| Description |
As
the name suggests, working heavy horses is
Doug Joiner's main concern, but he also makes
a traditional cider from the fruit of his
own orchard. Hill
Farm Horse Drawn Cider - traditional farm
house cider fermented and matured in oak barrels.
The orchard is just about three acres and
is an old mixed variety cider orchard. Apples
are picked from the ground after they have
fallen off the trees very late in the season.
Allowing the apples to fall naturally ensures
they are ripe, full of natural sugars and
is kinder to these venerable trees than forcing
the apples to fall by shaking the tree. The
apples are picked by hand and delivered to
the yard by horse where they are allowed to
mature further before pressing.
