SUSTAINABILITY
Our family has lived here for 120 years and as farmers we’re in tune with the soil. We’re part of our local environment. So we’re serious about sustainability. We care about today and we care about the future.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Myrtle Farm is our home in the heart of the Somerset countryside. So caring for the environment is in our blood. Our vision is to create a world-famous cider making business that works in harmony with the natural world, not against it.
REDUCE OUR
CARBON FOOTPRINT
We are actively finding innovative ways to reduce our use of natural resources and increase use of renewable energies.
PROTECT OUR
BIODIVERSITY
Our orchards are not just the source of our raw ingredients. They’re a haven for wildlife and an important contributor to the local ecosystem. Insects and invertebrates, birds of prey, bats, pheasant, rabbits and hares all make their home here.

Bees are so important to the apple harvest. We have so many species of apple trees in the Thatchers orchards – the different flowers are a really important way for the bees to get the protein they need. And of course the flavour of apple blossom makes for great honey too!
SUPPORT OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITY
We live and work in the heart of our small village of Sandford, Somerset. Playing our part in village life is hugely important to us. We’re part of the fabric in this part of the world.
