Meet the Cidermaker: The Cider Mill Sat June 6^th  11am-1pm

Join Centre for Food Culture Meet the Cidermaker: The Cider Mill in Slane, County Meath, to meet Mark Jenkinson who produces a signature cider, Cockagee, a perry, Piorraí, and a three-strong range of ‘revival’ ciders. Growing 120+ varieties of apple across 12 acres of an orchard in the heart of the Boyne Valley, Mark’s apples are all hand-picked.

Mark Jenkinson is the only commercial cider producer in Ireland still using the traditional and artisanal Keeved method, where nothing is added – no yeast, added sugar or water top-ups. Cockagee, his signature is named after an old Irish apple tree variety which he resurrected from believed extinction.
