On a sunny day in Lenah Valley, Alex and Gavin dreamed of leaving the rat race behind, raising kids in the country and working the family farm, Trial Bay Orchards.

That dream took on new urgency after a devastating fire destroyed the orchard’s apple packing and storage facility, all but ending a 66-year chapter in the families history.

With the family on board and the help of good friends both old and new, Mr Bridges was born. Our mission is simple: To craft seriously good cider and to care for the land we call home.

We believe in family, Sustainability, respect for the land, and the community. By breathing life back into the orchard, we’re not just securing our future, we’re creating a place to share with others.

This is more than cider and we’d love you to be part of the journey.
