Silly Moo is an unusually civilised farmhouse cider, made on the farm by Rachel and Andrew. It is a marriage of East coast and West Country cider styles with fully fermented cider blended with more apple juice to balance it.
Our orchard has over nineteen varieties of traditional cider apple trees – bittersweet, sharp and bittersharp apples, which we planted in 2012. These are blended with apples we source from English orchards and the gardens of Sussex, which are brought to our farm in the Autumn to be swapped for cider.
Made once a year in the autumn means that every year the cider is slightly different, reflecting the terroir – its soils, the year’s weather and the amazing variety of apples our swappers bring in.
