About Hydes
History
A classic pandemic story. During lockdown, Hydes moved to an isolated farmhouse in Hampshire to have more space whilst the family worked from home. Their small orchard soon dropped never-ending windfalls and they invested in an apple roller to collect them. A large wire net ball on the end of a long handle which you roll like a hoover. Soon they had wheel barrow loads of apples which were large and juicy and not suitable to throw away. The cider production idea was born.
What started as a hobby in 2021 became an obsession. Hydes are now in the process of producing up to 28 hectolitres of cider a year using traditional cider techniques and quite a few state-of-the-art ones borrowed from the wine industry.
Hydes are passionate about what they do and produce. Where possible they do not add sulphites and let the natural yeasts on the apple skins do their job, as they have done for the past two thousand years. Their equipment and supplies, bottles & cans are all sourced in England within a 150 mile radius of where they live.
