Sooo looking forward to trying this - love perry. It’s healthy champagne!

It's a fabulous year for pears. The hot sunny weather creates brilliant sugar levels in the fruit and the excellent deep roots of a pear tree help the tree thrive even in drought conditions. We were proud to be able to speak to Tom Jeffreys at The Telegraph in more detail about perry pears, growing them, and making perry from them. 🍐

Perry is itself a whole world with as much complexity, mystery and flavours as cider, or indeed wine or beer. 🍎 Yet it is so difficult to find due to the impracticalities of producing it and the not insignificant challenges of growing the pears. You can take your first steps into the world of perry by heading to our webshop where we have put together a selection box of the best of our range. 🥂

Discover perry in person at the UK's only Perry Festival in just two weeks time at the Malvern Autumn Show Malvern Shows. 🌳

Big thanks to Mark Hopper of the NACM for connecting Tom to us and sharing the news about the quality of pears this year.
