Smashing cider from Tenterden, Kent. Our family has grown fruit for 70 years. Every drop that goes into our cider is the real thing.🍎 linktr.ee/nightingalecider

Sam and Kim recently popped into The Jolly Fisherman in Hastings, a proper old-school pub housed in an 18th-century building, with a selection of craft beer, cask ales, Belgian bottles and ciders. Our Dabinett Bramley cider collab with @rosscider.bsky.social was pouring, so we had a glass!

This week, we’re picking Redlove apples 🍎 They might be small this year, but the sugars are incredible and they’re absolutely packed with flavour. We can’t wait to see what they bring to this year’s vintage. #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider

Falstaff apples: one of the fantastic varieties that goes into our Night Bird and Tenterden ciders, bringing lovely tropical fruit notes to every sip. We’ll be picking them in the next few days. #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider

After a busy few weeks building our very own pressing set-up from scratch, our press is officially up and running! It’s a huge step for us: fruit from our orchards, just 100 metres away, can now come straight in to be pressed, with everything packaged on site too.👏 #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider

Cider tastes better by the sea. Fact. A few Nightingale cans made the trip down to the shores of Dungeness, with Pippin on hand for some very important beach supervision. Summer's not over yet, so grab your own beach ciders on the webshop: www.nightingalecider.com/collections

We’re currently busy picking Discovery apples, and they’re looking fantastic this year. The fruit is a little smaller, but sugars are high, which is normally a positive thing for a great vintage! We're very excited to see how it tastes. #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider

Partial eclipse of Discovery 🌘🍎 We’re keeping a close eye on our Discovery apples as we wait for the right moment to pick. Alongside measuring Brix, we use an iodine solution to check how much starch remains in the fruit. 1/2

We heard a Nightingale in full song. It’s our namesake bird, and after a 2–3 year absence it has only just begun to return to the farm. Hearing it again feels like a real milestone in our efforts to bring Nightingales back and restore biodiversity at Gibbet Oak Farm.
