We've been featured in the Saturday Telegraph!
Thank you to the lovely Hattie and Jasper for making all seem so romantic and idyllic....
Unfortunately, the Valley in mid winter, digging the tractor out of snow drifts and pressing apples in freezing conditions, seems a million miles away from the lovely sunny scenes from their Autumn trip, but Spring will be with us soon and Mulled Cider drinking is excellent for morale and keeping hands warm! Productivity has dropped a wee bit though.......
For those of you that haven't read the article, click on the link below and see what you think.

Summer in the Valley...
It's lovely here now, the elderflowers are out, and the apple blossom has set, so the orchards are full of budding apples - looking good for the next apple harvest.
We've spent the past week pressing lemons for our lovely refreshing new organic Still Lemonade, which you will shortly be able to buy from the shop on this website - it's completely delicious and the most refreshing summer drink ever...
We've also just been picked as one on the Independent Newspaper's top 50 food websites, which is great news and a real surprise!

A collaboration following a rowdy cider infused canoe trip down the River Avon that flows through both the orchards of Heron Valley and the South Devon Chilli Farm, has lead to the development of our delicious, fiery new juice.
With over 4lb of organic Heron Valley apples and a smidge of the finest 1st pressed Chilli juice from the South Devon Chilli Farm, our new Apple and Chilli juice delivers a delicious, refreshing flavour with a kick!
Cocktails
Try serving Apple and Chilli juice on its own or with Vodka or tequila over plenty of ice – a fantastic, frisky cocktail.

Mulled Cider and apple juice
Yes the season of merriment is upon us, and now our mulled cider and apple juices come into their own.
Infinitely better than mulled wine and less headaches, Mulled cider is the easiest, most delicious drink you will make this Christmas.
Simply warm our still cider with sugar to taste and a bag or two of our Organic Mulling spices (all available in our online shop, yippee!) and serve. For those not drinking, simply warm our naturally sweet apple juice with the mulling spices and Bob's your Uncle.. a delicious, inclusive mulled drink for all!
Merry (nearly) Christmas

We now have a full range of our lovely drinks available to buy online from this site and delivered to your door. Simply enter the shop, pick your goodies and pay with Paypal.. couldn't be easier!
We'll send them out from the farm faster than you could juggle an apple.

Heron Valley tries to drink the Navy under the table... and loses...
A big belated thank you to the lovely officers on HMS Albion, who invited the entire Heron Valley team aboard for a cider tasting. We had a great time, although productivity was pretty low the following day... and we're looking forward to the home match next summer when we take the officers for a canoe down the river from the farm to the sea at Bantham for a swift pint or 3 at the Pilchard Inn on Burgh Island (one of our all time favourite pubs...)
The trick is to drink enough cider en route before you hit the weir...
Thank you again and we're already looking forward to the re match....

London Calling..

Good news for Londoners, we have just sent our first delivery of juice, cider and fiery ginger beer into Wholefoods/Fresh and Wild in the big smoke (that's London) this week!
We met the lovely buyers from Wholefoods at a small show, and although we rarely venture North of Exeter with our deliveries, we decided we ought to make it easier for you all to track down our drinks in London Town.
We've been invited up to the High Street Kensington store for apple day (21st October) so you can all come and sample some of lovely Devon drinks - come and join us!
Mists and mellow fruitfulness...

apples...apples...apples... our favourite time of year. 
The crop this year is fantastic - thankfully, as we've just sold the last bottle of last seasons juice!
We'll be pressing approx 250 tonnes of apples over the coming months and braving rain, snow (?) and high water to ensure we make enough of our lovely juice and cider for you all to drink next year.
We've pressed our first cider apples of the season, Tom Putt and Katy, and are clearing the cider barns ready for the new cider apple juice to start fermenting.
Keep a look out for updates on the pressing season - we'll let you know the varieties we're pressing and when, so you know what we're up to on the farm...
