Our craft cider is made with the apples we collect from gardens across Surrey and Hampshire.
We have also gratefully received beautiful cider apples from the National Trust Swan Barn Farm orchard and through the Copse Community Orchard Project South East.
We are proud winners of the ‘Best Cider of the Festival Award’ at the Farnham Cider and Sausage Festival in 2023.
Misty Moon Cider was delighted to receive a Business Growth Grant from Surrey County Council in 2025. The grant has supported us to purchase crucial new equipment and to grow our amazing team of local students, who help us bring in and process the apple harvest each year.

In the UK we generate 9.5 million tonnes of food waste a year, with 70% coming from fruit and vegetables. We’re on a mission to take surplus apples and stop them rotting in the nation’s gardens, instead crafting them into crispy delicious cider.
This not only prevents the apples being wasted, it also reduces methane emissions which would be created during the rotting process. The apple trees themselves sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
We minimise transport emissions by batching up our collections.
Misty Moon cider is produced by Good and Useful Trading Ltd, which was founded by Kathryn Caygill in 2021. The company has a Non-Fiduciary Advisory Board, which reviews the company’s social and environmental impact each year to ensure we remain both ethical and transparent in line with our company mission. Members of the Board include:
It feels great to be saving trees, stopping waste and ending up with a brilliant brew at the end of the day
