Our traditional ciders are made once a year with the apple harvest and fermented at ambient temperature. They are made as naturally as possible, with little intervention and no filtration other than gravity and time. These are orchard blends, meaning the apples are blended and pressed together. Like wine, each pommage will vary year to year, and many will do well with age.

Heart of the Valley
This cider is a special project benefiting the Salem Boys and Girls Club. For this we hand harvested many apples and pears from in and around the city of Salem. Every year there are thousands of pounds of apples that go unwanted and wasted. Many people don't take care of their trees or simply don't want to harvest their fruit. So in order to put that fruit to use I harvest it and made a delicious cider. This cider is our only canned cider, the design is done by a local artist, and the profits will be donated to the local boys and girls club.
