The road over the Remutuka ranges to the Wairarapa and the orchard and cidery. The Wairarapa valley is an alluvial plain between the high Tararua ranges to the north of here and the lower eastern hills in the distance. Photo courtesy of

Foggy start to the day at the orchard here in Wairarapa New Zealand. Then it burnt off by 9am as the sun came up, leaving just a little low lying fog in the lee the foothills, beautiful but cold day. Still a little snow on the high Tararua ranges.

There is an iconic New Zealand song Standing on Shaky Ground performed by the Kiwi band D-Faction in 1991. Last night it was literal for us. A sizeable shake 4.2 right under our feet at TeePee Cidery; that will have knocked off a few petals off the blossom! #earthquake #Wairarapa

Spring is officially here for us as cider orchardists. The apple buds are creaking open. This is Tom Putt our earliest variety. Hailing from Devon it's a mixed use apple. It ripens the first too, we use it to start the wild fermentation in Autumn.
