Cider Making
Our cider making process
Our Blend
The cider mill was added to the farm in 1996. Our blend of ripe apples is slow-pressed to create a fine apple cider that can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
It all starts with a variety of hand-picked cider apples, each brushed and rinsed before the magic begins.
Then ride up our elevator before dropping into the grinder, where they’re turned into fresh, fragrant pulp.
Grind & Squeeze
This ground apple mash is carefully pumped into racking cloths, which are layered to form a full “rack” ready for pressing. Once the rack is built, it’s placed in the press, where it’s squeezed to release every drop of golden cider.
Finished Apple Cider
Slow-pressed cider is UV-light treated, not pasteurized, to preserve its crisp flavor.
Our fresh-pressed cider is available in pints, quarts, half gallons, and gallons the perfect taste of fall to enjoy or share.
