The Magic of Single-Variety Apple Juices

At Druce’s Juices, we let the apples speak for themselves. Our apple juices are made from single varieties of locally sourced English apples, hand-graded for quality and pressed in small batches to capture their natural character.

• Flavour you can taste – From the aromatic sweetness of Cox to the earthy richness of Russet.

• Seasonal personality – Flavour and cloudiness may vary with the year’s harvest.

• Expert knowledge – Our founder trained under Keith Goverd, who has studied over 200 single-variety apple juices.

“We’ve investigated over 200 single varieties of apple juice – each one tells a unique flavour story,” says Keith Goverd.

Whether you enjoy a classic cloudy juice or a crisp clear one, our bottles are a true taste of the South West.

Sustainability at the Heart of Druce’s Juices

For us, sustainability is a promise. We farm and produce in harmony with nature, ensuring our orchard ecosystems thrive for generations to come.

• Chemical-free orchards – No sprays or chemicals for over 30 years.

• Biodiversity focus – We keep nettle patches for insects, leave some mistletoe, and plan to add bird and bat boxes.

• Waste-free production – Apple pomace is fed to local pigs, glass bottles are reused, and labels are recyclable cardboard.

• Low food miles – Our products are sold and delivered locally, minimising environmental impact.

Even the storage tells a story: our juices rest in vintage wooden apple crates from before 1971, patched and repaired but still going strong.

When you choose Druce’s Juices, you’re supporting a local, eco-conscious business with deep roots in its community.
