Who we are
About the farm
We make natural cider and perry in Chew Magna, North Somerset; we, Sam and Beccy Leach, came into cider making from the restaurant world. We own two traditional orchards, certified organic since 2019, and we look after and pick four more; we farm regeneratively, unsprayed, unmown and zero-till, with animals grazing under the trees. The fruit is picked from the ground, left to ripen fully and fermented with wild yeasts, without sulphites, pasteurisation or filtration, and typically matured for a year in bottle. From April to September we open the farm gate on the second Saturday of each month, when visitors can stock up on cider, spirits, vinegar and other farm produce and wander through our orchards and forest garden.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
