About Us

Rull Orchard was planted in 2018 by life partners Claire and Mike. We sought to move from our busy urban lives and connect more meaningfully with nature.

Mike worked in demolition for 20 years but one autumnal morning helping a friend collect apples in a small local orchard he had a reawakening. He no longer wanted to destroy but to create, Claire has applied her green fingers, technical skills and eye for detail and together they make a brilliant team.

The process of starting a cidery has evolved into a project of permaculture and rewilding, to encourage the natural biodiversity of the site, and to grow ourselves as many of the ingredients for our products as we can.
