  • Our Story

  • Orchards

  • Cider Making Process

  • Janet and Martin moved to Herefordshire in 1999 and set about realising a lifetime’s ambition to produce food in a natural and environmentally friendly way. The result, Butford Organics.

  • We have three main orchards which provide all our apples. We planted two of the orchards ourselves and the other is a mature cider fruit orchard.

  • Traditional cider making is a centuries-old process that requires both skill and patience. From picking the apples to milling and pressing to bottling every stage is crucial.

What others have to say about us

    I already had an appreciation of real ciders and perrys. Now my appreciation is enhanced as Butford Organics do make some lovely natural, organic, sulphite free examples. Further to that, delivery has always been excellent - literally overnight. Visiting was really enjoyable for us, meeting Janet and Martin, who were very welcoming, walking the orchards and buying apple juice, cider, perry and brandy - all excellent. To me these drinks carry me to a summer time when we had apple and pear trees, the sun, the buzzing and a sense of happiness. I'd recommend adding Butford Organics to your real cider experience.

    Small but very great cider shop, perfect for lovers of natural ciders and perries ! Absolutely fantastic selection. Definitely a must visit if in area!

    Visited in 2021 and enjoyed a tour with Martin round the orchards. Have bought the perry and cider several times since. Both are a great accompaniment to Sunday lunch! And the cider brandy is delicious.
