Our ciders never leave the farm. From apples picked at their peak, pressed on-site, and crafted into small batches, there's no better way to enjoy a taste of what Western North Carolina has to offer. 🍻

Our Cider Co. taps feature 6 rotating hard ciders throughout the season, and we have 6 flavors canned in our market for you to enjoy all year round. Which one is your favorite?

⚫ THE ORIGINAL: semi-dry apple blend; sweet start with a lightly-tart finish
⚫ THE PINK LADY: single variety cider; bright & mildly sweet - a light, tart finish
⚫ THE GRANNY: single variety cider; smooth start - tartness builds over a long finish
⚫ THE BLACKBERRY: lightly-sweet berry start - apple middle - a light, tart finish
⚫ THE WHISKEY BARREL AGED: smooth, dry apple start with a charred oak finish - our driest cider
⚫ THE BRANDY PRESS: fresh apple cider and JMF Barrel Aged Brandy; a sweet taste of fall
