Our farm in Somerset sits among 180 acres of cider apple orchards at the base of Burrow Hill. The farm has been pressing cider for over 200 years. In 1989 we were granted the UK’s first ever full cider-distilling license. We have been distilling award winning cider into Somerset Cider Brandy ever since. In addition to our Somerset Cider Brandy we make award-winning liqueurs including Kingston Black Aperitif and Somerset Pomona.

Burrow Hill Cider and Somerset Cider Brandy (bottles, crates or hampers) is available online.

Noddy’s Cider started life in 2017/8 from the back garden of Noddy’s terraced house in Weymouth. It’s a family affair with one common goal in life – to make a cider that we love to drink.

It wasn’t long before we outgrew our garden but it was important to us that we stay local and so, in 2019 we moved into a beautiful old milking parlour at Nether Cerne, on the outskirts of Dorchester, where we now craft our cider using only the finest Dorset cider apples that come from an orchard just 7 miles away. We never use apple concentrate.

As we are a ‘micro cidery’, our products are sold exclusively at shows or events. If you happen to see a bunch of happy smiling people behind Noddy’s cider bar at a show or event, then come and say hello and have a free taster on Noddy. We love making cider and love meeting people, and always try to make time to ‘talk cider’. Plus, our smiles are always free!

At the heart of the Langham Estate sits the magnificent Bingham’s Melcombe manor house, Grade I listed and little changed since the reign of Edward VI. Acquired by John Langham in 1980, Bingham’s Melcombe became the centre point for the Langham Agricultural Enterprise, today comprising over 1,000 hectares.

The Langham vineyard was originally established by John Langham on a very small scale. In 2009 John’s son, Justin Langham, decided to develop his father’s rudimental vineyard into a commercial venture, and planted 30 acres of land at their Crawthorne farm.

Our wines are made solely from the classical Champagne varieties Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot meunier. Every bunch is carefully hand-picked and processed using a mixture of old and new techniques in our on-site winery. We adopt a low intervention approach and as such all our wines are vegan.

We only use the Traditional Method, utilising a second, in bottle fermentation, to produce the sparkle. Each bottle is then aged on yeast lees for a minimum of 18 months before being disgorged and aged further under cork. Only when we are 100% satisfied with the wine will we release it for sale.

My family have been farming here in Somerset for generations and I’m a passionate hands on farmer, one who believes in the value of good British food which is why I decided to set up the Fussels Fine Food Company in 2005. Now I can share the fruits of my labour directly with you.

I believe in the joys and benefits of high quality simple food ingredients, the positive benefits of sustainable farming, and in helping people to connect with them, which is why I created my single cold pressed extra virgin oil. From sowing to cold pressing and bottling, I oversee everything here on the farm.

This is an amazing product that is a real alternative to olive oil and it comes from right here! It has 10 x the essential fatty acid Omega 3 versus olive oil, a terrific balance of Omegas 3 and 6, half the saturated fat of olive oil, it’s high in monounsaturated fats and is an excellent source of vitamin E. Oh yes, and it cooks to a higher temperature than olive oil, making it a much more versatile oil choice. From dressings to frying and roasting, Fussels single cold pressed extra virgin rapeseed oil will give you fantastic results.

Buy our fantastic range of dressings, mayonnaise, flavoured oils, sauces, vinaigrettes and gift boxes at local stores and farm shops, and delicatessen or online.

Eleanor Gallia is a Medical Herbalist (MNIMH), a shepherdess and a fledgeling  biodynamic farmer. Growing up on a Dorset farm, her imagination was caught at school when learning of the medieval humours which affirmed to her a different way to approach both health and farming. Eleanor qualified as a medical herbalist in 2001 and set up Nether Cerne Herbs, a holistic herbal practice focusing on the sustainable wild collection of medicinal plants and the integration of the individual within their natural environment. With a passionate belief in the vitality of wild native plants and their healing and restorative powers both for the land and the people, Eleanor was invited to work in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil at Iracambi Forest Research and Conservation Centre where she set up the “Iracambi Medicinal Plants Project”. Together with her horse Consolo, she worked with forest farming  families, revitalizing traditional health care practises and encouraging farmers to remember the inherent value in their forest land. Iracambi Medicinal Plants Project was selected as a pilot project for what is now the “Fair Wild” standard. Eleanor is deeply rooted in Dorset and runs her herbal clinic there, offering a range of herbal medicines alongside clinic hours for one to one consultations. She is currently converting her farm, previously part of Nether Cerne Farm, to the biodynamic methods of Rudolf Steiner.

The RANGE OF HERBAL PRODUCTS AND MEDICINES are made using herbs that have been grown, wild crafted and sourced according to biodynamic and FairWild principles.  Biodynamic Agriculture is a system of farming and gardening introduced by Rudolf Steiner in the 1920s. Steiner felt our modern farming methods were deafening the earth and the methods he introduced are designed to bring us back into alignment with the plant and animal kingdoms and the whole cosmos. Working with the moon and planetary configurations , the intention of biodynamic farming is to increase the vitality of the soil, our connection with the elementals and the health of the earth.
