Welcome to Sandford Orchards

Born on a farm

Squashed in a barn...

Delicious drink starts on a twig. We can tell you which twig. All our ciders and juices are made by hand to recipes handed down the generations. As farmers we find it very rewarding turning the fruit we produce into such tasty and popular products.

Because we are orcharders as well as drink producers, the work we put into keeping our trees pays off as premium quality fruit, which in turn makes it much easier to make great juices and ciders.

We maintain a traditional mixed farm, with livestock, pastures, orchards, cereals and woodland. By keeping all of these in balance and each element supporting the other we are able to buy in the minimum of inputs and farm in harmony with our surroundings. For instance the spent apple from pressing, transported away in lorries from factory producers as waste, is fed to stock here on the farm. Which means extremely tasty pork and very happy pigs.

Latest on the farm, BUY FROM US DIRECT!,  fun at the show, the near death experiences at the viking re-enactment, and we're getting involved in the Crediton Festival.

  • We grow our own apples.
  • We maintain and replant orchards to keep our heritage alive.

  • We support farming and lifestyle practices which promote wildlife.

  • We believe that traditional and modern practices can work hand in hand, to produce quality products.
