Jus
is based at Aylton near Ledbury in Herefordshire.
We are concerned about working with the environment, about apple
varieties and their disappearance and about orchards, their
reduction and the difficulties local growers are facing in marketing
English apples. Single variety apple juice is a useful way of
using surplus fruit without losing variety character.
We
grow many varieties
of apples ourselves, as well as several cider ones.
As
well as working with local commercial apple growers we can process
small quantities of apples for private individuals (minimum quantity
of 120lbs), for example people who have acquired an orchard with
their house and cannot eat all the crop. Quite often there are
old and unusual varieties in such orchards.
In the nineteenth century a much larger range of varieties was
grown for eating, cooking and storage purposes.
Jus
is a member of Heart of England Fine
Foods, which is the regional food group for promotion
of fine food and drinks in the West Midlands. We can often be
found taking part in shows and events organised by HEFF.
