We won the CIE GOLD for Best Visit!!

The CIE Tours Awards of Excellence 2024 were held in the stunning Christ Church Dublin last week. The ratings come from surveys from CIE tour groups who have visited Long Meadow Farm and we scored an incredible 98.4%

We are just delighted to receive this award, because as well as our award winning ciders, our family pride ourselves on offering a real experience of life on the farm and the work that goes into making our ciders, apple cider vinegar and juices.

We share our history, our land and our passion for this business, and are delighted to have won an award for our Orchard Tours.

A massive thank you to CIE for the award. We are incredibly grateful for their support and continued partnership and friendship with us.

We are so excited for this 2025 tourism season at Long Meadow Farm and look forward to welcoming all our visitors.

Did you know that Long Meadow Farm embraces sustainability by utilising recyclable trays, reducing waste in our operations, ethically sourcing supplies for the farm as well as managing our supply chain.

We're also really passionate about using renewable energy and have solar panels on our building with more to be installed this year.

But its an ongoing journey to see how we can do more.

Anyone else desperate to see those green leaves back again!? 🍃

Even though our apple trees need some winter dormancy, we miss strolling through the warm green orchard.

Things don't get going here until early march, when you get the beginning of fruit bud growth.

Then you get an amazing explosion of colour by the end of April.

It's a great time to visit.

Why not come and see how our orchards undergo a breathtaking transformation into a sea of blossoms.

Thank you to Ann for sending us this feedback about our tour and our Irish Cider Vinegar

"My husband and I visited Long Meadow Farm while on a tour of Ireland in late August. While there, we had an opportunity to tour the orchard at the farm as well as discover how they process and store their apples. It was so interesting and informative - a real learning event that we will always remember.

Following the tour, we ate lunch at the farm and after talking to the owner, Catherine McKeever, about the Irish Cider Vinegar with mother they produce, which she said could possibly help with the night time leg cramps that have troubled me for many years, I decided to purchase a bottle.

Although my first thought was "what do I have to loose by trying it?" I'm so glad I took the leap because I have not had any cramps for almost two weeks since I started taking the very small dose recommended.
2 tsp. per day.

Despite the distance that separates us (Missouri, USA, to Ireland), Catherine has graciously answered several questions I have had.
For sure this is an amazing product."

This is a family tradition usually made at supper time.

I have memories of my mother making this at home hovering about patiently waiting on them coming off the hot griddle, and the warm cosy smell of freshly baked bread.

Ingredients
175g self-raising soda bread flour
420g cold cooked potatoes, mashed
Bramley apples, peeled and thinly sliced

1. Add soda bread flour into a mixing bowl. Gradually add in the cold-cooked mashed potatoes, stirring ingredients together to make a dough. If it's too sticky, add more flour.

2. Turn the mixture onto a floured board and knead gently into a ball shape/ Cut into two pieces.

3. Dust the rolling pin with flour and using one piece of the mixture at a time, roll out into a circular shape about 1/2 an inch thick. Mark a thin slight line down the middle.

4. Add the sliced Bramley Apple to one side of the mixture to form a couple of layers (1 or 2 medium apples should be enough.

5. Fold the other side of the mixture over the apples seal the edges with your fingertips and cut off excess dough. The apples should now be enclosed.
Repeat with the other half of the mixture.

6. Heat your griddle pan for a few m minutes and dust with flour. Place the bread on the griddle for 2-3 minutes and turn down to medium. Turn over and cook the other side. Keep turning until you can hear the cooked apples bubbling.

If you keep turning it, it will stop it becoming burnt. When ready, slice open and add butter and sugar to taste.

Some nights just call for a big warming pie!

This is a lovely recipe for a chicken pie using our Oak-Aged cider. We always have some puff pastry in the freezer at this time of year for making quick pies.

This would be a good Christmas leftover recipe too for the turkey.

60g unsalted butter
60g plain flour
250ml Long Meadow Oak-Aged Cider
250ml full-fat milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
juice 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp crème fraîche
3 medium leeks
sliced into rings
1 large apple
peeled, cored and sliced
500g cooked chicken
50g extra mature cheddar
grated
375g puff pastry
2 egg yolks

Heat the oven to 200oC
Start by making your sauce by melting your butter in a saucepan, adding the flour and cooking it for a minute or so. Then slowly add in your cider, then your milk.

Add in your mustard, lemon juice and creme fraiche until you get a creamy and thickened consistency.

Next, get your filling ready. Melt butter in another pan a fry your leeks and apples for 5 mins. Then add some water and cook till tender. Add half the cheese into your sauce, and then add in the leeks and apples.

Leave the sauce to cool before adding in your chicken. Pop it into a pie dish, and top with the pastry. Brush with beaten egg and pop it into the oven for about 40 minutes.

Delicious!
