Established in 1999, Cornish Orchards is a cider and soft drink producer based in Duloe, Cornwall. Our cider is made using 100% freshly pressed apple juice which we press, ferment, hand-blend and mature. We only use natural sugars, no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, and achieve maximum flavour by fermenting at ambient temperatures over the cool Cornish winter months. It all started back in 1992 when our founder Andy Atkinson, who at the time was a dairy farmer, moved his herd of dairy cattle to Westnorth Manor Farm. Once known as ‘Westnarth’, Westnorth Manor Farm has formed part of the Duchy of Cornwall Estate since the 1950s. Drawing motivation from Cornwall Council’s project to save, rejuvenate and replant traditional apple orchards, and wanting to encourage birds and wildlife, Andy planted three orchards on the farm. Soon, he had one of the largest collections of Cornish apple varieties in the county. Enthused by his new crop, Andy juiced, blended and hand labelled his first Cornish apple juices in 1999. With this success and the introduction of his first Cornish Orchards cider, Andy took the leap to diversify from dairy farming to juice and cider making and threw his wellies away in 2002. Today we are a passionate team of over 35 local staff, working hard to create full-of-flavour, whole fruit drinks and award-winning ciders, to serve both locally, nationally and even internationally. We also continue to be relentless innovators. Our goal is to produce premium ciders and fruit juices using the best methods and ingredients possible. We constantly strive to bring products to our consumers that can be appreciated for their outstanding flavour and quality.
