Know someone missing the island? Send them a little taste of Tassie this festive season🍎

Packed full of local goodies, we’re shipping our Huon Hampers Australia wide!

But get in quickly - orders close midnight this Sunday ⚡️

——-

So what’s in the box?

👑 Straight to the queen of the lot - a traditional boozy pud from our mates at Urban Bounty, made with fruit soaked in our apple brandy, distilled here on the farm.

Drinks? Have we ever got those covered!

🍾 Our limited release heritage apple cider, Yarlington Mill, along with @harvestandlight’s non-alc Rhubarb & Raspberry Shrub and a bottle of our @charlesoatesdistilling – the perfect match for the aforementioned pud.

🍖 To add the final flourishes to your Christmas table there’s native pepper berry from @tasmanianpepperco - spot on with your ham, which we’d recommend serving with the pickled onions and mustard, made with our cider by Cassy at Harvest & Light.

What to eat for Boxing Day breakfast? Toast up a hearty @huonmecrumpets sourdough crumpet, grab some leftover ham and slather on some mustard.

Freddie and the crew hard at work hand thinning today - they’ll be working through the rest of the orchard over the next five weeks.

They’re getting rid of misshapen or frost damaged buds and most importantly reducing the fruit per limb so the tree puts its energy into the remaining apples - leading to healthier, larger and more flavoursome fruit 🍎

Our Bone Dry tinnies have always been a bit of a beast.

We launched them with the catch cry - Bigger. Drier. Harder.

It's since become clear, we went a little too big..

So we've taken the same dry cider you know and love, and popped it in a handy sized 355ml can.

They’ve already left the farm so you should be able to get your hands on one stat 👊

Andrew and Ian have been out assessing the orchard

Andrew and Ian have been out assessing the orchard today after a lot of rain and a few frosts so far this Spring.

They’re looking out for signs of disease and counting the number of apple buds and limbs on a few trees in each block.

Based on their count we’ll have a rough idea of how many apples we’ll bring in next harvest - and that’ll flow on to how much cider we can make.

So far it’s looking good! 🤞

Great to have the crew from @maydenabikepark down

Great to have the crew from @maydenabikepark down in the Valley today.

A belter day for an orchard/cidery tour and ciders at the Shed 🌞

Thank you @maxallendrinks for yesterday’s write up in @financialreview on our recent releases 🍾

New styles, thanks to the growing variety of cider apples available in the valley and some pandemic induced downtime that allowed for experimentation with new techniques and blends.

Hit the link in our bio for a nod to the boozy night Max first met Sam and Andrew, and a review of our Frequin Good, Yarlington Mill, @sullivanscovewhisky barrel aged and our cider club exclusive Pet Nat ❤️🍎

Yarlington Mill is back! Showcasing its namesake

Yarlington Mill is back!

Showcasing its namesake - one of the great bittersweet apples of England, first found growing out of a water wheel near the village of Yarlington back in 1898 🍎

Charming, much like the apple itself and the cider it produces.

The 2020 release is all soft tannins, pithy astringency, caramel and candied apple characters. An elegant cider, if you will.
