Technical information
Cider
This grower-maker farms some of it themselves and buys-in others.
- Information on what they farm
- Size of their farm: 10 (ha)
- Total fruit trees for cider/perry: 2300
- Everything is dry-farmed. Not irrigated.
- Some are harvested manually (Not for all varieties. I consider that some apple varieties are more suitable for pick-up with a picker. For example, the Cartigny variety requires many times to pass under the apple trees in order to have very firm apples for pressing. We have a lot of cartigny in our orchard. If we had to pick them manually, we would not be able to pass as many times as necessary and would have lower quality fruit for pressing.).
- Information on what they buy in
- Everything is farmed organically and/or biodynamically.
- Everything is dry-farmed. Not irrigated
- Everything is harvested manually.
Average production of drink: 50000 (btl)
