Main character: The blend of freshly harvested botanicals harnesses the meadows’ rich diversity and includes species such as sweet vernal grass, red clover flowers, yellow rattle flowers, meadow vetchling leaf, bush vetch and common sorrel. The gin is the result of a collaboration between Richard and Rachel Trenchard, the Forest of Bowland AONB team and Peter Blackwell, who farms at Bell Sykes, Slaidburn. The internationally recognised meadows have been cared for by the Blackwell family for three generations. A donation from each bottle is made to the Champion Bowland charity, to support projects in the AONB. Read more about Hay Time here.
