Smashing cider from Tenterden, Kent. Our family has grown fruit for 70 years. Every drop that goes into our cider is the real thing.🍎
Partial eclipse of Discovery 🌘🍎 We’re keeping a close eye on our Discovery apples as we wait for the right moment to pick. Alongside measuring Brix, we use an iodine solution to check how much starch remains in the fruit. 1/2
What a weekend at These Hills 2026 🎉 It was our first time there, and we loved pouring our ciders in the East Sussex sunshine, catching up with friends and meeting plenty of new ones. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a glass, a chat or both. 1/2
Enjoy Night Bird (and a spot of kayaking) at Lime Wharf Cafe in Rye🍎 Sam, Kim and Pippin recently paid a visit to Lime Wharf Cafe, where they spent the day kayaking along the River Rother before stopping off for a well-earned pint of Night Bird.
We love seeing our cider out in the wild...Especially when it's this close to home🍎 We recently spotted Night Bird and Wild Disco on the shelves at our local Co-op in Cranbrook. Cheers again to Co-op for championing local producers 👏 #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider
Fledgling No.6 has landed! Our first Fledgling release in two years, Fledgling No.6 pét-nat is made from Discovery and Redlove apples. Made in very small quantities, this is one for the cider enthusiast. A limited release, so be quick to grab a bottle! bit.ly/FledglingNo6

We need apple pickers for this year's harvest!💪 Harvest is still a few months away, but we're always in need of hard-working individuals to help us pick apples on our farm in Tenterden, Kent. We pay competitively and are a great team to be part of. 1/2

This Sunday we’re heading to the London Cider Salon at the Tate Modern 🍎 The London Cider Salon is from The Fine Cider Company, and has become one of the best places to explore the changing world of fine cider and perry. It’s sold out, and we can’t wait. See you there.
Freshly bottled Discovery Cider is available on the webshop✨ Expect fresh strawberry and rose on the nose, with a soft pink hue in the glass. The palate is juicy and gently rounded, with notes of red berry, crisp apple and a clean, refreshing finish. bit.ly/DiscoveryBlushCider

We heard a Nightingale in full song. It’s our namesake bird, and after a 2–3 year absence it has only just begun to return to the farm. Hearing it again feels like a real milestone in our efforts to bring Nightingales back and restore biodiversity at Gibbet Oak Farm.
Spring has arrived in the orchard 🌸 The blossoms are bursting into life, with our pear, Falstaff, Redlove, and Bramley trees all putting on a beautiful show. It’s a magical time of year. As everything comes into bloom, we’ve also been busy with some new ciders.
Huge congratulations to the team at Floc. Brewing on the opening of their beautiful new pub, The Lifeboat in Margate 🍻 We popped in for a visit to Lifeboat and it's a great space, with an amazing atmosphere. It's a proper addition to the Margate scene. 1/2
