HedgeCraft Ltd. is a micro-distillery producing premium quality spirits with locally sourced and foraged ingredients in Ditchling. All our spirits are made with organic ethanol (neutral grain spirit made from organic wheat), and each includes at least one distinctive ingredient that has been sourced (typically foraged) in our garden, field, or in other wild areas of the village.

Our products are made in a “no shortcut, no compromise” traditional way. You get to taste alcohol enriched with botanicals as it comes out of our copper still. No alcohol, nor anything artificial is added after the distillation process. We don’t dilute our products to produce bigger batches; you get to taste all of the flavour and richness achieved through distillation. This limits our batch size to 80-140 bottles (depending on the type of product and abv) and also, along with the use of natural and foraged botanicals, means that each batch is just that tiny little bit unique. (We don’t homogenise or mix batches.)

Most of our ingredients come from a local company, Beacon Commodities (based in Westmeston) and where possible, we opt for locally grown products (such as coriander).

We currently focus on local sales (events such as Ditchling Apple day) and have therefore discontinued our e-shop. Sales by appointment (card payment available/preferred) or order via the online form / email to be invoiced.
