I have been working as a self-employed gardener for over 5 year and lived and ran a pub for many years. My drinking passion is cider. I would love to develop my gardening business in a specific way: that is by buying a piece of agricultural land, growing cider and making my own local cider on a small scale. This might sound ambitious, but I have the ambition and the vocational desire to do it. Sadly, my knowledge of growing cider apples and cider production is virtually zero. Saying this, starting from a blank sheet would allow me to utilise modern techniques, etc. Could you, therefore, please point me in the right direction of some literature that would allow me to obtain the knowledge I need to fulfil my cider making dreams. Many thanks. Steve from Kinver, West Midlands.

I know nothing about what trees to purchase or if it is even a practical idea. Can you advise on where is the best place for me to get help, buy trees or in fact learn all about it. I live near Norton Priory in Cheshire. Best regards, Tony Price.
