Good evening,

With the hope of providing a small distraction we want to shed a little light on what has been going on at Trenchmore this month and let you know we have restocked our online shop.

The cattle moved outdoors this month. They come under cover for winter as our heavy clay soil gets too soggy, but bound back into the fields as soon as the weather permits. It is the most joyful sight and always feels like the beginning of the farming season when they head back into the sunshine.

The recent rain has been greatly appreciated, helping the grass to pick up pace again, which our grazers are delighted about.

At Trenchmore we use a paddock grazing system whereby they are moved to fresh patches of grass every two days. It helps to maximise carbon capture and regenerate the soil.

Moo-ving onto the cider side-a things...

Our orchard has shot into blossom today and it is blooming glorious. Mum just took the picture above and is especially pleased because her bees have overwintered well and are ready to get to work pollinating the 1,600 apple trees.

We launched our Unfiltered Cider in bottles this month! It is our cloudy draught cider which is lusciously fruit-forward with a long finish and a light sparkle. For those still venturing to the local shops, we're already supplying Quaff Wine, South Down Cellars, Higgins of Hove, Hepworth Brewery Shop, Duke of Wellington, Old Piggery, Wayfield Park & Holmansbridge in Sussex. In London, find us at Weino BIB or get it delivered by London Food at Home.
