Apple Juice - £3.50 per bottle (750 mL)
Our 2025 apple juice will shortly be available to buy. Unfortunately, due to increased costs, we have had to increase the price to £3.50 per bottle. At RHSO juice sales, we will have offers for 2 bottles for £6.50. We have a few bottles of the 2024 juice available that we will continue to sell at £3 pre bottle. All our juice is made from apples grown in the Rivers Orchard, picked by the local community on Apple Day and pressed, bottled and pasteurised at either Apple Cottage Cider, Baldock, Herts (prior to 2025) or Cam Valley Orchards, Meldreth, Cambs (2025 onwards). Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added to prevent discolouration.
- Laxton. Made from our Laxton Superb heritage apples (introduced by the Laxton nursery in Bedford. A sweet juice with a distinctive rounded flavour.
- Cox/Bramley. Made from the classic English apples - Cox's Orange Pippin and Bramley seedling. A delightful balance of Bramley acidity with the sweetness of Cox.
- Mixed. Made from the rest of our crop of heritage apples. Flavour changes from year to year depending on which apples produced well. This year, a very refreshing, sweet juice with a delicate flavour.
The mixed juice can be bought from Full of Beans in Sawbridgeworth. Other varieties can be bought at our local stalls or events, or you can e-mail us and arrange to collect it from Sawbridgeworth. We may be able to deliver it locally by arrangement.
