Naish's
Cider has been made at Piltown Farm,
West Pennard - near the Glastonbury
Festival site - for 200 years. Brothers
Harold and Frank Naish took over the
family business when their father William
died in 1965, but had been working on
the farm producing organic cider since
they left school in the 1930s.
In
2005, Harold passed away - a dedicated
cider maker who worked seven days a
week, never took a holiday, and worked
almost until his death; still shovelling
the apples into the crusher at the age
of 84! Younger brother Frank (81 at
the time - and the oldest cider maker
in the country) continues cider-making
on a small scale, working with his friend
and farm worker Paul Chant. |
