"Our two organisations share a passion for providing our customers with the highest-quality products, so when we were offered the chance to list some of our ciders with them, we were over the moon."
Founded in 2002, family-owned Sandford Orchards operates from the oldest working cider mill in the 海角视频. The area has long been known for its grazing and ability to grow apples.
The company's partnership with John Lewis was facilitated by Great British Exchange, which connects independent and emerging brands with leading retailers.
A spokesperson for John Lewis & Partners added: ”We were impressed with Sandford Orchards and their commitment to making great cider.
"We are delighted to include their session cider pack in our gift range now and look forward to working closely with them as part of our Christmas offering. We are confident that our customers will be big fans.”
