Make your visit even more memorable with walk around our stunning orchards and historical museum.

The museum collection was put together by Richard Sheppy in the 1970s. It includes many farming and cider making exhibits, as well as tools from associated crafts. Your visit begins with a short film about the cider-making year at Sheppy’s, followed by an exhibit depicting the late Autumn season, with ploughs, harrows and seed drills.

You progress through the museum to the summer season, where implements and machinery for grass mowing, corn cutting and binding can be seen. Passing a variety of barn equipment and machinery, you will arrive at the kitchen and farm dairy section. The cider-making exhibits follow and include the giant old wooden press, apple scratters and presses, and a great deal more.

A small charge applies to our museum, but the orchards are free for our visitors to enjoy. We also have picnic benches and a children’s playground as you walk down toward the orchards, so please use our facilities freely. When you’re finished we would be delighted to welcome you into Sheppy’s House of Cider & Fine Foods for some well deserved refreshment.

At Sheppy’s House of Cider & Fine Foods we specialise in giving customers our personal attention. The staff in our shop will help you find everything you need.

Our ciders are available to taste from our tasting counter where our shop staff can give you expert help to find the perfect cider for your palate.  Alternatively, you might like to stay a bit longer and enjoy our special our ‘cider flight’ board, giving you the chance to try 4 different ciders in our Apple Bay Bar.

Whilst you’re here, why not take away a gift for someone? We have lovely gift hampers available and we can even make them to order, whoever it’s for and whatever your budget.

Sarah, our shop manager, has sourced all sorts of locally made produce including Somerset cheeses, jams and chutneys, biscuits, Somerset cider brandy, chocolates and sweets, and all manner of other temptations. We hope you get a chance to take a look at our products and take away some treats.

As you may already know, we have beautiful Longhorn cattle on our farm and, as part of our development, we wanted to bring you a butchery counter specialising in rare breed meats as well as our own beef. We will also be selling home-cured bacon, homemade sausages and much much more.

Alongside our cider shop and butchery, we also have a bakery and deli selling freshly baked goods.
