An unusually civilised farmhouse cider.
Silly Moo is a hand picked, pure juice & wild yeast cider made on our farm in Sussex. We blend juice from our 4-acre cider orchard, from our annual apple swap and from apple farms in East Sussex & Somerset, making minimum intervention ciders to celebrate English apples in all their natural glory.
Silly Moo Cider's name came about as our cows go a little bit silly when they get the chance to devour the apple pomace left behind from pressing the juice.
Our orchard has over nineteen varieties of traditional cider apple trees - bittersweet, sharp and bittersharp apples, which we planted in 2012. These are blended with apples we source from English orchards and the gardens of Sussex, which are brought to our farm in the Autumn to be swapped for cider.
Made once a year in the autumn means that every year the cider is slightly different, reflecting the terroir - its soils, the year's weather and the amazing variety of apples our swappers bring in.
We produce 500ml & 330ml bottles, 330ml cans, 20 litre Bag in Boxes and 30 litre & 50 litre kegs and supply some of the best pubs in Sussex. We also work with a couple of distributors in the South East - Pig’s Ears, Real Al Company, Firebird Brewery, Hepworth Brewery and LWC.
If you're a shop, pub or restaurant and would like a sample please let us know and we'll drop it in. We have had to drink a lot of cider to work out what we like - please let us know what you think. orders@trenchmore.co.uk
