Sustainable from day one, we’re here because of fallen apples. An unconventional story, Ellers Farm stems from our founder Chris spotting perfectly good apples lying in an abandoned Yorkshire orchard.
Rather than letting them go to waste, he decided to do something about it. What began with a tiny pot still has grown into a cutting-edge vodka distillery in a Dutch Barn. Then, along came Ricky Gervais.
Renowned comedian, actor, writer and advocate for wildlife conservation, Ricky wanted to work with a sustainable spirits business that’s actually doing some good, so he joined the team. We also became B Corp certified.
A milestone in our journey to not only make the world’s best spirits but do it ethically, going out of our way to give back to people and the planet.
Since then, we’ve set ourselves the goal to continuously improve our standards of social and environmental performance.
Yes, we love to have fun and joke around, but behind the scenes we scrutinise every detail, from the amber glass weuse, to the label substrates, bottle stoppers, packaging materials, energy and water usage. We obsess over everything that keeps the distillery running.
Because let’s face it, if we don't take positive steps, there won't be a planet to drink great vodka on!
