Apples arriving at Bray’s Cider in Somerset

Bray’s Cider: natural cider from Taunton Vale

Natural cider, made the Bray way.

Regenerative orchards, local fruit and a family cider tradition reaching back generations.

A family cider tradition, revived in Somerset.

Bray’s traces its family cider story back to Abraham Bray in 1918. Adam Bray revived the tradition in Somerset in 2005, returning to rack-and-cloth principles and small-team production on the farm.

Today, Bray’s makes cider as naturally as possible, with apples sourced close to the farm and a focus on regenerative orchards, traditional methods and community.

Traditional work, season by season.

Apples arrive at the cider house, pass through the mill and are built into the rack-and-cloth press. It is practical, physical work, carried out with the machinery and methods that give Bray’s its distinctive farmhouse character.
