Howling Moon is 10 years old!
We started 120 moons ago as cidermakers, sourcing apples from our neighbours. To craft our ideal cider, however, we needed bountiful baskets of specialty cider apples. We dreamed of caring for own own orchard and making craft cider in a new style, inspired by the Victorian ways of old.
In 2014, we purchased an overgrown farm, with grape vines scattered through Christmas trees. A whole lot of sweat and tears later, we had pulled out the vines, planted bushels of heritage apple trees, and invested our love into Howling Moon's very own cider apple orchard.
Today Howling Moon Craft Cider is more than a business - it is our orchardist family backed by a supportive community of farmers, collaborating to produce beautiful local beverages. Fruit from neighbouring farmers, honey from local apiaries, and of course our own heritage apples and botanicals are fermented together to make revolutionary quality cider.
Cheers to 120 moon together! Kate and Nik
