We have over twelve varieties of apples growing in our orchard. We combine different varieties as they become ready so that each pressing has subtle shades of variation in its taste profile. The result is a vibrant, continually surprising drink!
Our hard ciders are descendents from traditional English style ciders, adapted for our locale, climate, and history. We make a dry 6% hard cider, and starting in 2024 a dry-hopped hard cider. (Hops are a traditional historical crop in our area).
