Does anyone know where I can buy some proper LOCAL farmhouse cider?

Graham, Perry's Cider Mills at Dowlish Wake, near Ilminster. Okay, I will concede that it's not what you might call 'local', but it's a nice place to visit and you can try all the ciders from the barrels before you buy to make sure you get the taste you want. It also has a museum, a cafe and a shop. Richard has been buying from there for years and really rates the cider. There are also loads of other 'farmhouse' ciders scattered around Somerset....sadly, I can't think of any local Dorset based ones. http://www.perryscider.co.uk/
