Hard Apple Cider

UNFILTERED, NO ADDED SUGAR,

Please keep refrigerated.

Crafting a quality cider requires special care in its production. First, we use local apples because their freshness is essential to our process. These apples are carefully selected and sourced at their peak from local orchards whose agricultural methods we trust to ensure the quality and freshness of the juice.

We press and blend a wide variety of antique and heirloom apples, as well as other well-known varieties, and are continuously seeking new varieties to use in our seasonal and single offering ciders. We have planted over 500 trees on our family farm in Central Maine and have used the apples from this experimental orchard in some of our ciders. We have found that some of these antique and heirloom varieties have produced exceptional ciders. Last year, we teamed up with one of our apple suppliers to plant 5,000 cider variety apple trees in Maine to use exclusively in our cider. We continue to work to improve our products and production methods to develop new and exciting flavors.
