THE STORY BEHIND TURNERS CIDER Turners Cider is a family business based in the village of Marden, in the Weald of Kent. They make a range of craft ciders in the ‘Eastern counties’ style: that is, from only eating and cooking apples.When The first batch of Turners Cider was made it was with all the windfall fruits from family and friends apple trees . A scratter and a basket press was hired and everyone gathered on a sunny autumn morning with their bags of scrumped fruit.Anything and everything was usedPeople brought Discovery, McIntosh Red, Golden Noble, Howgate Wonder, George Cave, Egremont Russet, Cox, Gala, Greensleeves and Grenadier.Apples were picked from the wildings around the woods and fields. The kids drank the apple juice straight from the press until they got belly ache.75 litres of juice was stored at the back of the shed and they waited. By the following Spring it was sharp but delicious.That summer’s parties were fuelled with our first homemade cider.Now the Turners buy apples by the tonne using many traditional varieties like Cox, Worcester, Bramley and Russet. and ferment in stainless steel vats.The result is a range of clean, light and refreshing ciders with a balance of sweetness and acidity. They’re perfect for summer drinking, for thirst-quenching, as an aperitif and with many types of food.But not much else has changed. They still only use local apples and – when it’s time to press and to bottle – friends and family still gather to lend a hand.select each type of apple for its flavour.
