Our Story

A group of villagers initiated the Trunch Cider Group early in 2012, after years of seeing perfectly good apples (and pears) going to waste. In March 2012, we had an introductory talk by Stephen Fisher, who produces traditionally made Norfolk organic cider.  Stephen talked about the history of cider making, the traditional techniques (mainly in England and France) and his own Norfolk cider. Of course, he also gave us a glass or two to try this delicious drink. Stephen’s cider is for sale at The Apple Shop, Wroxham Barns, a shop run by his brother Geoff Fisher.

We have had quite a lot of equipment donated, and our group brings together apple/pear-tree owners and volunteers who have no trees, but who would like to take part in the project and, after 6-8 months, have a drop of cider.

To our relief, Mark from Whin Hill Cider, Wells, came to our first bottling and racking event on 21st February 2014.

Our bottled cider is called Horatia’s Tipple, the one filled in bag-in-boxes is Trunchie Jack.
