Belvoir Farm

At Belvoir Farm, elderflower sets the calendar. Across organic Leicestershire plantations and surrounding hedgerows, local pickers gather creamy, pollen-heavy umbels only when late-spring warmth opens them. Each harvest is weighed, checked and moved quickly, preserving the brief Vale of Belvoir moment when blossom, scent and timing are exactly right together.

Organic Elderflower Cordial

Organic Elderflower Cordial turns late-spring elderflower into a precise summer serve. Dilute it one-to-ten with chilled still or sparkling water, pour over ice, or use it as a spritz base when floral, citrus and grassy elderflower notes should stay clear rather than syrupy.
