Classic cyder (ABV 7.4%) which has an extra process, being matured in oak barrels and Reserve cyder (ABV 8.4%) which is matured in used oak whisky barrels. The story attached to the latter states that the farm decided to begin maturing selected cyder to create a stronger drink, procuring second hand barrels from the Jack Daniels Distillery. The delivered barrels needed to be cleaned to remove the whisky that had soaked into the wood and it was found that this could be achieved by soaking the barrels in their own cyder for several weeks. Upon completion of the soak the master taster decided to taste the cyder from the barrels and discovered, by chance, that they had created an excellent new whisky matured cyder.

The farm also produces 27 different varieties of jams, marmalades, sauces, chutneys, a pickle and a mustard.
