Saxby’s Cider – Government Commercial Agency Accredited Supplier (LVPS)
Saxby’s Cider is proud to have become a Government Commercial Agency accredited supplier on the Low Value Purchasing System (LVPS), making it easier than ever for public sector organisations to source high‑quality, locally produced drinks from a trusted British farm business.
Based on our family farm in Farndish, a small village on the Northamptonshire / Bedfordshire border, we grow, press and bottle our fruit juice and cider on site and by choosing Saxby’s, responsible public bodies are supporting local food production, local jobs and the wider rural economy.
A Local Family Business Supporting Local People
Saxby’s Cider is a family‑run farm business with deep roots in the local area. We:
·Employ local people across our orchards, production and events operations.
·Work closely with neighbouring farms, suppliers and independent businesses.
·Host a wide range of community events on our farm – from classic car meets and art classes to open mic nights and day festivals.
·Organise PYO Sunflowers and Pumpkins, and organise volunteer apple‑picking days that bring local people together and connect them with farming and food production.
For buyers, working with Saxby’s means your spend directly supports local employment, skills and community activity in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and the surrounding regions.
