The Ferme du Ponctey is located on the Lieuvin tableland overlooking Triqueville and its valley near Pont-Audemer in Normandy, controlled origin Calvados area. Our orchard is located at the edge of this high plain on a clay flint soil that can raise ciders of great wealth. The levels of sugar and malic acid are favored by this type of soil and are recognized as being particularly representative components of the quality of a cider apple.

Our mission is to maintain the tradition of the production of authentic farm-based alcoholic beverages in small batches and characteristics of the qualities of our terroir. Our products respect the natural expressiveness of our apples and we employ traditional fermentation and distillation methods that emphasize human know-how, far from industrial techniques.

It is now more than 25 years since we took over the Ferme du Ponctey and decided to reconnect with the cider-making past of this place marked by the establishment of a German airfield during ww2. We planted our orchard around the farmhouse and set up cider house and cellars in the historic buildings. Currently two generations of the Jaouen family are working together to drive and maintain the orchard, harvest the apples and develop our cider, Calvados and Pommeau while also conducting field crops.
