Our story
Rodney & Norma
Old Mill Cider is made by Rodney and Norma, a husband and wife team, with a passion for all things cider and fruit.
Rodney made his first cider with apples from a small home farm orchard in Suffolk, England, in 1984. Things have progressed quite a bit since then. Having lived in the Nelson region for the past 20 years, they've found themselves spoilt by the wide variety of top-quality fruit grown in the area, with which to make top-quality ciders.
