About The Crackington Cider Company
Producers of artisan, small batch, award winning Cornish ciders
Home of the Taste of the West Champion Cider for 2022.
Jonathon and Samantha started the Crackington Cider Co. from their home in Cornwall in 2011, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, less than a mile from Crackington Haven, with its beautiful beach, and welcoming cafes and pub.
It all started with a gift of 30 cider apple trees from Jon's Dad, Eddie. The orchard now has over 1100 cider apple trees. Jon has focused on the conservation of Cornish and vintage quality West Country cider apples, many of which he grafted from cuttings due to their rarity. To ensure a perfect balance of sweet, bittersweet, sharp and bitter sharp apples, 30 varieties of cider apples are grown including Rattler, Lord of the Isles, Captain Broad, Collogett Pippin and Dabinett. We never use chemicals or pesticides on the orchard to promote biodiversity and improve soil quality. As a consequence we have also seen a huge increase in bird populations and varieties. Apples are pressed, fermented and bottled in the Cidery.. The ciders are slow matured in stainless steel fermentation vats for 9-12 months to develop a full clean character, with speciality ciders such as our sparkling Tremayna and award winning barrel aged ciders aged for at least a further 9 months. All of our ciders are vegan and gluten free.
We care deeply about the environment and do not use any pesticides on the orchard. We manage the grass in the orchard to encourage wild flowers, bees and butterflies by only mowing twice a year. This has also had a positive impact on the numbers and varieties of birds in the orchard.
