Our Orchard

The orchard is where the cider begins. To walk it in the late fall after harvest is over, smelling the cold crisp air, the damp earth, the apples left behind…dried, sweet, rotting, is to experience a magic of a certain time and place: A fleeting moment, when time stands still, a memory which we hope to capture in a bottle of cider.
