Oh July! A month of bounty from the garden

July is one of our busiest months picking and making the most of bounteous amounts of fruit from our garden to make our fruit gins & liqueurs. Strawberries need picking every day from our strawberry bed for Strawberry Gin, the gooseberries are turning colour for Gooseberry Gin and the raspberries are starting to fruit for our Raspberry Vodka. We're also still picking rhubarb for our Rhubarb Gin and Rhubarb Rum. Luckily, we're able to source beautifully fresh in season apricots grown locally from Harvest of Olney greengrocers to make our Apricot Vodka.


We get all our cherries from the amazing Horwood Cherries at Great Horwood and use the Kordia variety of sweet cherries to make our Cherry Brandy. You can book to pick-your-own cherries from Horwood Cherries' orchards and we would highly recommend it - great fun and simply the best cherries for miles!


What are you enjoying picking from your garden in July? The month of plenty!
