Big Tree Cider

Big Tree Cider is a Kent cider maker that started out from the apples of just one huge Bramley apple tree on our land in Hartley, Kent. This tree was originally part of the many orchards in this area and is over 100 years old. From here the hobby for producing home-made cider grew and grew.

Nowadays our cider is produced by using a variety of trees from a variety of orchards in the local area. We have become more expert at blending these various flavours and still use the apples from our own faithful Bramley tree. Our blend consists of - among others - Howgate Golden Wonder, Royal Gala, Jupiter, Cox, Kentish Pippin and Egremont Russet.

Production increased year-on-year, and 2009 proved to be a great year for Big Tree, with cider supplied to pubs and festivals throughout the South-East and proving very popular across the region. In the autumn of 2009, Big Tree produced over 5,000 litres of traditional cider, and once again is back on show in 2010. To find out which blends are available, click here.

This truly home-made, traditional Kentish cider is popular with many people who live in the village and beyond. If you’d like to try some for yourself, why not get in touch?
