All our liqueurs are home made on our family farm in East Yorkshire.
The fruit we use is
fresh, hand picked and carefully selected from hedgerows around the farm.
We make Sloe Gin, Sloe Vodka, Damson Gin and Damson Vodka.
We also have a special Summer Fruits Gin and Summer Fruits
Vodka available now.
We also sell naturally reared beef fed the old fashioned way.
Sloes are the fruit of the blackthorn and are widespread in the woods and field hedges through
the English countryside.
The blackthorn flowers in March on bare branches and the fruit ripens
around mid-September when the picking begins.
Like all members of the prunus family sloes have
a characteristic bluish bloom.
Since 19th century sloes have been added to gin to make the
liqueur sloe gin.
Damsons are also members of the prunus family and produce small blooms in April which develop
into small oval shaped fruit.
As damsons are a sweeter fruit than sloes, they produce a richer
fruity flavour.
Because sloes are bitter and the liqueur tends to be slightly drier in taste.
Please feel free to contact us directly, or by filling out this form and we will contact you.
Celebrate summer by trying our very special and delicious
Summer Fruits Vodka or Summer Fruits Gin.
They are both perfect as summer quenchers with lemonade or
soda, but are also equally lovely as a summer drink on their own!
For the summer only (June, July and August) you can buy them for the special price of £13 (Humber Bridge Market
only).
