| Description |
'Killerton
Cider and Honey are from a range of products
based around the traditional West Country
orchards. The aim is to show that quality
food can still be produced whilst maintaining
these vital habitats.'
Cider
has been made by National Trust wardens on
the Killerton Estate in Devon since the early
1990s. The apples are grown free from chemical
fertilizers and pesticides and come mainly
from five estate orchards. Varieties include
Killerton Sweet and Killerton Sharp which
originate from the estate. The
apples are hand-picked and pressed on site
using a traditional farm press, work carried
out in early October by the wardens and volunteers. |
