Unprecedented
demand for Badgers Hill Cider!
 Kent
Online (23 May 2008)
It
may seem like an odd time to be rolling out the
apples, but cider season has come early for one
Kent producer.
Badgers
Hill Farm at Chilham, near Canterbury, has been
struck by a sudden high demand for bottles of its
home-grown nectar, and has been forced to change
its normal schedule of October to November right
up to May.
Bruce
De Courcey, one of the farm’s partners, said:
"I have worked here for 20 years and this is
the first time we have had to make cider in May."
"There
was a higher demand since we re-opened the farm
shop in March but it was particularly high during
the very warm weather at the beginning of May."
The
work involves the crushing of apples and fermenting
the juice, and the farm produces home-made Pippin
cider from apples grown on the farm.
