Oliver's Cider & Perry

E-mail

ImageOur goal is to profitably produce a selection of fine Herefordshire and Three Counties ciders and perries and to relish doing so.

 

The perry and cider is crafted in small batches using fresh (mostly hand picked) unsprayed fruit with minimal intervention, distinctive and handsomely presented, respecting the great heritage and traditions of the past but with an eye to innovating for the future.

 

Oliver's will strive to produce premium products and give a unique service, while valuing the health and well being of our consumers, our employees, the earth's natural resources and the environment".

 

OLIVER'S a bit of a HISTORY OF TRADITION

Cider was made on the farm until my grandfather decided with the arrival of mechanization that it was unsafe and the consequent move away from horse and man power left less need for refreshment while on the job. The old stone mill decayed and the rest of the equipment was sold, given away or fell into disrepair. I started from scratch again and have been planting bush and standard trees of many varieties for 9 years, in order to preserve as many as possible.

 We are just off Burley Gate roundabout, where the A417 Leominster to Gloucester road intersects the A465 Hereford to Bromyard road. Take Gloucester exit off roundabout towards Newtown crossroads and Oliver's Cider and Perry is first on the right hand side.
