Their story
Peopleton Press is a small craft cider maker in Peopleton, Worcestershire, run by Fryer and Jones, as named on their own website, who describe themselves as "Peopletonians through and through". Their cider is hand-pressed in small batches from apples grown in a single orchard in the village, using seven hand-selected apple varieties for their original blend (the varieties themselves are not named). The range is sold in bottle boxes with direct-to-door delivery to keep drink miles down, alongside a wide network of local pubs, shops, cafes and sports clubs. No founding date, awards, tours or public visiting arrangements are published.
A single orchard in Peopleton supplies all their fruit, which is hand-pressed at source; tree count, age and the seven apple varieties used are not individually named.
