Newsletter 20th October

Good afternoon,

We were pleased to see Silly Moo in the Observer Food Monthly magazine on Sunday, after a blind test taste with Gabe Cook. We assume his photoshoot for the piece was inspired by our Moo head, but that’s yet to be confirmed. Either way, we were glad to be included, sitting on the page alongside some of the best, and chuffed with our result.

With a bit more of a nip in the air, our orchard fruit has ripened and we’ve managed to get everything picked this week. We’ve also finished our apple swap for the year and now just have the small matter of squeezing every last drop out of the fruit using our old rack & cloth press.

Thank you to everyone who swapped apples for cider and helped us pick our fruit - we’ve got almost 60 tonnes in total. Many hands make light work, and in good time, some very tasty cider.

The shop is open, the fridge is stocked and apple cake is on the menu this Saturday.
