Their story
Wadys Cider is a small craft cider producer on the Somerset Levels near Middlezoy, trading as Wadys Cider Ltd, a company incorporated in 2017. Its orchard at The Ark, Little Elm Road, has grown over several years from open grassland into a working commercial cider orchard, planted with five named apple varieties. The business centres on its own orchard-based taproom rather than wide retail distribution, and its ciders include a dry cider, a sweet cider and a traditional-style still cider. Artwork for the business is credited to Laura Wady. Beyond the taproom's own pages, little further public information about the business's founding or history has been published.
