Mulled Cider and apple juice

Yes the season of merriment is upon us, and now our mulled cider and apple juices come into their own.

Infinitely better than mulled wine and less headaches, Mulled cider is the easiest, most delicious drink you will make this Christmas.

Simply warm our still cider with sugar to taste and a bag or two of our Organic Mulling spices (all available in our online shop, yippee!) and serve. For those not drinking, simply warm our naturally sweet apple juice with the mulling spices and Bob's your Uncle.. a delicious, inclusive mulled drink for all!

Merry (nearly) Christmas

And finally... Heron Valley delivered to your door

Yes, we've finally got there!!!

After months of promises and hard negotiations with couriers (we find cider is an excellent currency), our Heron Valley online shop is now open for business!

We now have a full range of our lovely drinks available to buy online from this site and delivered to your door. Simply enter the shop, pick your goodies and pay with Paypal.. couldn't be easier!

We'll send them out from the farm faster than you could juggle an apple.

We also plan to offer a few other products from like minded friendly companies, so keep a look out on the site for new things to buy.

Happy shopping...

Heron Valley tries to drink the Navy under the table... and loses...

A big belated thank you to the lovely officers on HMS Albion, who invited the entire Heron Valley team aboard for a cider tasting. We had a great time, although productivity was pretty low the following day... and we're looking forward to the home match next summer when we take the officers for a canoe down the river from the farm to the sea at Bantham for a swift pint or 3 at the Pilchard Inn on Burgh Island (one of our all time favourite pubs...)

The trick is to drink enough cider en route before you hit the weir...

Thank you again and we're already looking forward to the re match....

London Calling..

Good news for Londoners, we have just sent our first delivery of juice, cider and fiery ginger beer into Wholefoods/Fresh and Wild in the big smoke (that's London) this week!

We met the lovely buyers from Wholefoods at a small show, and although we rarely venture North of Exeter with our deliveries, we decided we ought to make it easier for you all to track down our drinks in London Town.

We've been invited up to the High Street Kensington store for apple day (21st October) so you can all come and sample some of lovely Devon drinks - come and join us! 

Mists and mellow fruitfulness...

apples...apples...apples... our favourite time of year.  

The crop this year is fantastic - thankfully, as we've just sold the last bottle of last seasons juice!  

We'll be pressing approx 250 tonnes of apples over the coming months and braving rain, snow (?) and high water to ensure we make enough of our lovely juice and cider for you all to drink next year.  

We've pressed our first cider apples of the season, Tom Putt and Katy, and are clearing the cider barns ready for the new cider apple juice to start fermenting. 

Keep a look out for updates on the pressing season - we'll let you know the varieties we're pressing and when, so you know what we're up to on the farm...
