- A gentle portrait of Frank Naish, (86), possibly the world's oldest cider maker, on his farm in Somerset, with helper Paul Chant. Collecting apples on a frosty morning in December 2010, Frank continued a life-long devotion to the artisan way of producing cider, which he did with his brother Harold until 2005, when Harold passed away aged 84. Since then, Paul has worked with Frank, allowing Frank to continue his passion, up until his death in November 2013. As Frank said, it's hard work and plenty of fresh air that kept him going.
Your supper is just how we eat, nice bit of boiling bacon,homegrown taters, and swede, sometimes i cook a ox tongue, simple flavoursome food, i hope with everything the way its going, we get back to life for real and people become less stressed,happier, and more in touch with real life they way a human being should live. I think we should honour and have more respect for our wiser older folk , be more tolerent its so rewarding listening to their gems of wisdom and tales of past lives.What a lovely old boy.
Sometimes you find a little gem on TH-cam. This would be one of them.
Agreed.
Yes I agree
Agree, 👍salt of the earth.
50 plus years ago when we used to drive from Liverpool to Cornwall for our holidays, we always stopped at Sheppys cider makers in Taunton. Back then you could just drive in with your gallon containers and the gentleman would draw the cider from a large vat. I remember he would ask if you wanted sweet or dry, if you wanted sweet he would pour a drop of syrup into your container before filling, he would also give you a glass of cider while you waited. We did this every year as a sort of tradition and drank the cider while we were in Cornwall. Lovely memories 😊
This is an absolute gem . What a lovely man. A disappearing world.
This is absolute gold. I wish I'd been able to share this with my dad before he passed (he was nearly 89 and all when he went on). He lived in Doulting near Shepton Mallet and would have loved this short film.
Full length documentary coming one day. When I get time....
@@MrTrotty57 I'll be watching this space, no doubt about it.
Good lad you are A credit to the workers ... young ones are fn disgrace nowadays ...
About 10 years ago at ' The City of Bath's cider festival' I remember trying half a pint of cider called 'Naish's Cider. I can't believe I've come across this video. God Bless
Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful film, which I have watched over and over. This old Gentleman reminds me so much of of my Grandad 'Tadcu' on his farm in Wales.
Thank you for your kind words. A full length feature will happen one day, hopefully in the not too distant future.
@@MrTrotty57 Great, will look out for it. Thanks again for the wonderful film, in your own good time. Don't rush it. Thank you.
This is Real filmmaking!
Thank You.
RIP Frank. A true Gent. Beautiful film and one of the reasons at 57 I am moving from London to Devon - try a little cider making whilst getting back in touch with nature and the country side I love so much.
How did it work out for you? I am busy making cider in Thailand..ooh arr
@@fromtheflightdeck252 I brought the lease on a pub on Dartmoor had a great time but following a heart attack last year I decided to sell the lease on and move into the house we brought in the same village. Loving West Country, Loving Dartmoor and loving completing the sale 1 month before lockdown of all pubs in UK.
@@KEVINVOGAN1 Sounds like a canny move ... I was born in Devon and need to move back
This really put a smile on my face
A grand man , doing a great job . Not sat on his behind . Probably makes a fair drop of cider too . Hope his passing was peaceful .
Love this old guy true old school gent he was ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fantastic! Thank the Lord for little gems like this Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful video! My grandma used to say that she could smell the cold air off us when we came home after playing all day outside
Absolutely lovely, thanks for sharing 👍
What a Fantastic wee film,brilliant Characters!!!
Very interesting. Charming. Well filmed. Showing Old England as it was. Nothing too fancy, certainly not the daily food! But hey ho. We’ll have gallons of the apple stuff...Beautiful orchards, shame about the busy road. The best part? “I never had a flu jab”... Hope the juice is still flowing freely in 2020.!
Thank you!
Cracking film, thanks. R.I.P Frank.
I remember being taken to franks cider farm years ago, him and his brother we're asleep around the back on swinging chair's on a balcony like they had in western films from the 70s..
He told me him and his brother only went shopping in Wells once a week because they had either both been banned from driving or something, very friendly folk and a gallon of cider was around £5
Liked within the first 35 seconds. Knew enough to want to carry on. Instincts led me to subscribe. Brilliantly shot and documented. Type of film they'll study 100 years from now.
Kind words - thank you so much. There will be a full length film, one day....
Yes?@@MrTrotty57
@@paulchant7237 gearing up for it! Still need to finish scanning the Naish albums and return them to you, as well as copying one or two framed pics out there. See you soon!
@@MrTrotty57 I may have more 👍🤠🍻 cheers my dears always welcome 🚜
RIP Frank, thank you for my happy memories upon your land.
I loved this video. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could meet old cider makers such as this gentleman.
Brilliant video! I’ve had a few samples of cider from down there, lovely stuff 🍻🥴
Shot beautifully 👏
I think James May and Oz Clarke visited them lot in their Drink to Britain series
Often come back to look at this its a gem . Naish cider on my bucket list. Had some of wilkins cider this year which is highly recommended. Love that old Grandfather clock.
Once again, the proud spirit of, Her Majesty`s England.
marvelous . . .
Got me thinking about the comfort of my life, prompted me to open the doors, listen to bird song, smell a bit of cold.
Thanks for recording and sharing this.
Touching portrait
I can’t stop watching it, I had no idea Frank was such a legend.. he is literally The Cyder Elf of England
You might also enjoy my West Country Yap films:

You obviously don’t know the difference between literally and metaphorically, do you?
This man is a man and NOT an Elf.
@@DeanJuvenal it was an expression of devotion, a term of endearment, perhaps you arent quite aware of what a metaphor is? Jog on
I be calls worse than that!@@DeanJuvenal
This is a lovely film. Thanks for making it. Frank's collection of cider mugs (and cobwebs) looks fantastic. My Granddad was a top cider maker down Somerset but he dropped dead out in the cowshed when I was only about 18 months old so I never got to try it. :(
Hoping to expand on this and produce a full length documentary with stills and archive video - currently looking into funding, so watch this space. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@MrTrotty57 any update on the documentary??
@@eighty9 Sadly, not much, as myself and co-producer Jill Furmanovsky have been really busy of late. However, I have put together a taster film of around nine minutes to see how it might work. We've been interviewing people connected with the Naish brothers on the odd occasion, so building up a stock of footage and audio to flesh out a full length project. We haven't delved into funding seriously yet, and I don't want to go about it half-assed and fail, so when we have the right pitch, we'll apply. For now, we're both trying to keep afloat financially after no work during the past 18 months of Covid. Thanks for your interest and feel free to give me another prod somewhere down the line.
@@MrTrotty57 just stumbled upon this video of yours and I too would love to be notified of the progress of a full length documentary as and when you start on it.
Mugs and fresh webs still there 😊
Beautiful there. Should have been pruning those trees all along. Much higher yield.
I'm loving the gadget they're using to pick up the apples off the ground...sure could use a smaller version to pick up the apples the lorikeets drop from my apple tree..
this is wonderfully shot well done well done.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it. A full length doc coming one day.....
Great video 👍
Salt of the earth.
Although I am a huge supporter of traditional ways, as an apple grower I know that unless sprayed, apples will have codling moth larvae in them.
Extra protein…..adds to the flavour ….WEF wants us all to eat insects…….no meat…..
We never spray and never will. Bugs are our friends
This chap has a work ethic that seems to be dying out as each generation passes away the modern generation don't know what hard work is
Amazing video
What a great video!
Cider..the glory of the British Isles
His comments about the flu-jab were interesting, especially in 2022!
Never a Vax in his life and lived to almost 90.
Reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting.
So many generations of Chant involved in farming and agriculture in Somerset. Probably listed in the doomsday book!
Especially the doomsday book?
Im in Devon. Still plenty of cider made here.
I have a big problem with this, its not long enough!
A full length documentary film in the pipeline, but finding the time to complete it has been a challenge.
@@MrTrotty57 Well yes I can understand at this time.
Lovely film, but that clock at the beginning is out of beat!
A fit old bugger, for his age.
Hi i am also pressing apples but wat kind of pump do you use to pump the crushed/grinded apples into the press
Sorry, I don't know.
@@MrTrotty57 can you post a picture
@@cjhage Sorry - I only shot the video you see here. All my stills are from previously, before this kit was installed.
Can you give this subtitles for us American folks?
+The Porter Homestead
Ha Ha! Maybe. One day....
For now - Somerset to US:
Us = We
Ab'm = haven't
Taters = potatoes
Push button job = office job
I idn' = I'm not
Thik = that
S'morning = this morning
Yers = years
"He's empty idn' 'er?" = It's empty, isn't it?
"we ab'm put none in 'ee 'ave us?" = We haven't put anything in that one, have we?"
@@MrTrotty57 As a born and bred Somerset, I commend your translation!
I speck - I think/expect
spose - suppose
What do you do with all the worms ?
Eat thee Bugs!
@@paulchant7237
Protein.
They stay and make natrual plant fertilizer, like they have for over 130 million years.
This is why our farm's do so well without chemicals.
Yes what a lovely film shame it’s gone like most English traditions feel a bit sad Really
Tis still yer
I could make a better transcription for the subtitles. Tune my ear in for ye old accent :)
Ha old time cider making…….apples off the ground ,basically unwashed ……
I can't understand his speech. The closed captions aren't helpful.
auto translate is a complete failure here. He actually speaks relatively clearly. Any native speaker would be able to understand him no problem.
Of course, no one in their right mind would drink the product. And those that do will never get their minds back.
