I was at the Notting Hill Farmers’ Market, where Londoners were jostling over wild hare, crunching misshapen apples and stuffing mud-clumped carrots into fashionably rustic baskets. The enthusiasm from both sides was intense and as I tasted rich unpasteurised milk and cream from Hurdlebrook dairy in a windswept urban car park, I was entranced by the farmer, Ken Paull’s reminiscence of the rolling countryside around his farm, a picture of green fields undulating from the foothills of the Somerset Mendips and out across Spartford Vale. This kind of weekend jaunt to shop for fresh home-grown produce can literally save a small farm from going out of business and long may it continue, but a rustic basket isn’t enough for me, and Ken’s palpable love of his landscape sent my partner and I to south Somerset on a culinary walkabout. We began with brandy. Somerset has always been famous for its cider apples, and all three of the UK’s vintage cider areas are within the county. Kingsbury Episcopi is one of those districts and it is there that Julian Temperley nurtures 150 acres of rare English apple trees to produce cider and delicious distilled liquors. It is the quiet time of year for cider makers, a bit of pruning and cleaning up is all that really happens in February and the place seemed deserted when we arrived, with just a fat black and white spotted pig snuffling under the bare appletrees.
