Linda and George wish you an interesting and pleasant stay
George milling the Russets before pressing - join in if you want and take home some of the fruits of your labour. Pressing takes place from August to January.
Just 5 miles from the farm is the lovely SW Roadford Lake this year's venue for the huge two day Wood Fair held on 12th and 13th July 2008 - I'll be there again serving the public with our award winning products.
About life on the award-winning organic West Lake Farm - where apple juice and ciders are made
West Lake Farm has been managed organically for over 8 years. An old orchard sparked off the idea of making apple juice and cider. We have been forunate that by sticking to traditional methods for best quality control our hand crafted products began to receive many awards - Taste of the West (2 Silvers, 1 Bronze) Great Taste Awards 2 Golds and 2 Silvers and given top placings by judges at the Bath and West Show. Guests may enjoy a talk by George who will explain the farm's main business of apple juice production from pruning in the orchard - to the apple- to the finished product on the market stall.
A very boggy meadow on the farm where little would thrive was ideal for willow growing - now we supply local basketmakers with coloured willow and larger withies for garden structures and sculptures.
Can you identify these apples ?
