Lets Sae the world together
We hate waste; please help us to reuse our bottles by returning them after use - we'll give you 10p back for each rinsed bottle!

We only want to use fruit grown in the Isle of Man and we want to make the most of what's already growing here!
So we came up with Fruit Exchange.
The idea is pretty simple:
We'd like to use your crops and in return we'll give you a fair share of the juice or other drinks that we make from them. We'd like everyone with an apple tree (or rhubarb plant!) to be able to enjoy delicious, freshly pressed apple juice (or rhubarb pressé)…and for free!
Pick your apples (or rhubarb!) when they're nice and ripe, bring them to us and we'll give you free juice there and then to take home in exchange for your fruit!
Whether you bring one bag or a truck full, we welcome any amount of fruit!
Fruit Exchange opening hours: May - Nov / Weds - Sat / 1pm - 6pm


Hi!
We're Will Faulds and Charlotte Traynor, Apple Orphanage Company Limited, and we want to do things differently! We founded Apple Orphanage in 2009 to make quality, handcrafted, Manx beverages on the Isle of Man using locally grown, Manx ingredients.
Will was born and raised on the Isle of Man and introduced Charlotte to the Island in 2007. They've lived together at The Lynague farm ever since.
Will's been making cider and wine at The Lynague, from home grown fruit, for nearly 10 years. Will started with apple wine, using surplus apples from The Lynague orchard; we both hate to see good things go to waste - particularly apples - Will loves apples! We've trialled wines, juices and cordials from every fruit, flower or bush we could find. Some of our favourite flavours have been: blackcurrant, plum, gooseberry, and elderflower.
We're passionate about keeping things natural and free from chemicals - we've realised you can make something taste great, if not better, without them and who wants to drink chemicals?
We also believe it's important to make the most of our existing local resources; so when we need any ingredients or services we try to source them on the Island. The Isle of Man has great potential to be self sufficient and we try our hardest to spread the word that great things are, and can be, grown here. We are always experimenting with new fruits and recipes that make the most of unused, wasted or forgotten resources on the Island; so keep a look out for our ever evolving range of products...
Minimising waste is also something we strive to do throughout the business and our processes. All our bottles are glass, which we recycle and reuse. Even the apple pulp we are left with after pressing is not wasted, but fed to our pigs who always look forward to apple season!
Four years ago we entertained the somewhat radical possibility of producing our drinks commercially… and here we are today: Apple Orphanage Company Limited, producers of Manx soft drinks, apple juice, made-wine and cider. We hope you enjoy our drinks as much as we do!
