McAlister's is a fourth generation family farm in County Armagh. Today, Noel and his sons John and Ben run a pristine successful 180 acre family apple business. The main focus has been growing and supplying packed Bramley apples to customers throughout Ireland and the UK. In 2012, McAlister's expanded their storage to ULO (ultra low oxygen) and currently are able to store over 1500 tonnes of Bramley apples on the farm. Since 2016, McAlister's have been pressing and bottling apple juice on the farm. Orchards of all types and size are disappearing across the UK and Ireland and we continue to import apples from oversees, in spite of having a long tradition of apple growing and a suitable climate for it. Supporting our local apple growers helps to keep alive an important part of our heritage.
