Dorset Nectar is a Soil Association certified farm, meaning they have to adhere to strict rules around the use of pesticides and fertilisers.

During the tour, we discuss some of the fascinating history and folklore behind apple growing and making cider in Britain. We even participate in a yearly traditional Wassail or Blessing of the orchard! We tell you about the important role of the bees to ensure pollination and how the apples grow.

It’s very potent!’. Her words were sharp like the cider in the glass in my hand, aimed a little at me, but mostly at my grandpa, warning him not to give me too much.

Dorset Nectar is the perfect example of how farming with nature can be done right and successfully. The south-facing location of the orchard means the apple trees get plenty of sun, and they also benefit from the prevailing winds from the south. As they make their way over from the Atlantic, across the Jurassic coast, towards the orchard, the Southerly winds play a role in pollination during the months of spring when the orchard turns pink and white with blossom. Ventilation also prevents mould growth by blowing away the spores of unwanted fungus. Our first cider apple harvest, Oliver harvests apples by night and continues with Penny sculpting metal sculptures by day whilst she holds the fort. Took part in Dorset Art Weeks with Sculptures in the orchard for the first time whilst living in Spetisbury near Blandford Forum. Please don`t break the branches of the orchard apple trees *we need them healthy for a good cider apple crop every year* If you fancy lunch after your Tour & Tasting With us I would highly recommend the Hare and Hounds pub in Waytown only a short way down the road from us with beautiful views of the local countryside in their large garden.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the Vegan Burger. The mung bean, spring onion & bean sprout patty was really flavoursome and different from your usual veggie burger and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Simon had the Mac & Cheese with bacon. It smelt divine, of truffled panko breadcrumbs. He also really enjoyed his meal.
From that day on my love of cider has grown and grown. Like apple blossom joyously bursting open in the spring sunshine, something bloomed within my heart when I first tasted cider. For me cider is a reminder of home, of celebrations that come with the seasons. It is always my drink of choice. A drink that finds itself into my hand during the best moments. From family get-togethers to music festivals and camping trips with friends, it is the perfect accompaniment to the good times.All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
