The weather outside is cooling down, and the days are getting shorter. That means only one thing: it's mulled cider season!

We have 3L 10L and 20L bags available, which will last for 30 days once opened, so perfect for all seasonal gatherings.

Happy #AppleDay 🍎

Today we’re celebrating all things apple. This is a great opportunity to reflect upon our seasonal harvest, and a chance to connect with local growers, seek out your nearby orchards, and buy English, local, and fresh.

Checking our sugar readings🔍

Here’s Tim measuring the sugar level, known as a Brix reading, in our Falstaff apples.

This is one of the key steps before harvesting. Once we’re happy with the reading, along with the fruit’s ripeness and flavour, we decide when it’s time to pick.

Some exciting content coming your way 🍎🎥

We did some filming with Joel from Big Plus Studio yesterday. We can't wait to share some exciting video with you about Nightingale and the cider making process soon!

Thanks to Joel for his time and professionalism 👏

It's the Autumn Equinox 🍂

Today marks the turning point of the year. Nights grow longer, air turns cooler, and the orchards are heavy with ripe fruit.

The equinox signals not just the start of autumn, but it's our first day of our harvest!

We need more apple pickers from this week!🍎

We begin harvest today and are still in need of a few more pairs of hands to help us pick apples.

We pay competitively.

If you're interested and available ASAP, get in touch on harvest@nightingalecider.com.

We had a great turnout for our trade day on Monday 🙌

Thanks to everyone who came along to explore our orchards and hear all about our cider, including Cornucopia, Brewing Brothers, Old Dairy Taproom and Cider House London.

It was a privilege to show them around our farm!

Our first-ever cider export🎉

Yesterday marked a big milestone: we exported our cider outside the UK for the very first time! Two pallets of kegs and cans are now on their way to an exciting new market we’ve been eager to enter for quite some time.

Any guesses where it's going?

Our team took a stroll around our orchards to check when we can start this year's harvest 🍎

While the Cox harvest has begun at the farm, we're about two weeks away from picking fruit to press for our cider.

Memories of Rivington Farm Trip 2025 🚜

Last week, our cider was pouring alongside 40 of the top breweries from the UK and further afield at Rivington Farm Trip, set near Chorley.

We had such an amazing time and the Rivington Brew Co team looked after us very well.

Please note that our taproom will not be opening next weekend.

We've made the difficult decision to cancel our taproom weekend next weekend, the 13th & 14th Sept. There are too many local events happening on the same weekend, including the Tenterden Food and Drink Festival.
