of the farm: foeder core III

7.6% cider
The center of our “Of the Farm” series, Core is made with apples from an orchard in Plowville, PA, where John Updike spent a part of his youth, then wrote his novel “Of the Farm” based on his formative years there.
Of the Farm: Foeder Core is made with a blend of those apples pressed at the Orchard, then blended and aged, solera-style in our Oak Foeder. This is our third pull from the Foeder, our large wood tank the is never fully emptied, continually topped up, as a perpetual blend. The result is a delightfully dry, crisp, and thirst-quenching cider with subtle minerality, light acidity, and underlying notes of honeydew and oak.

of the farm: ginger perry VII

6% all pear + light ginger
Our seventh Perry is made with a blend of three different pears grown and harvested by our friends at Weaver’s Orchard in 2024. We fermented and aged this Perry for over a year, then rested it on Baby Ginger grown by our friends at nearby B&H Organic Farm. We love the light zing, bright tartness, and subtle sweet note of this combination of Ginger and Pears. We hope you love it too!

of the farm: strawberry

7.2% dry and tart strawberry cider
We’re lucky to exist in a part of the world that can grow the revered Strawberry. It’s one of the early fruits of the season, and it was one of the first ciders we released as a cidery. Our Of the Farm: Strawberry is a dry cider made with PA apples and PA Strawberries, all from our friends at nearby Weaver’s Orchard. It’s simple and delicious, with a beautiful pink hue that hints at the strawberry goodness on the nose and palate. It’s easy easy, and a true treat to enjoy!

of the vine: scuppadine

6.8% dry cider co-fermented with southern grapes
Sometimes the Universe conspires with you. A friend of a friend was passing through our area from North Carolina, and broke down with a load of ripe Southern fruit. They asked us if we could help in anyway, so we purchased a bunch of fruit, including pounds and pounds of native Southern Scuppadine Grapes. We then took a unique pressing of equal parts Honeycrisp, Ginger Gold, and Zestar apples, added those whole cluster grapes, co-fermented with wild yeast, and then aged on the grapes and lees for 8 months. Notes of green grapes, candied lemon, black pepper, and a subtle apple undertone make this one a special drinker, thanks to the Universe!

of the eye: gold rush IV

8.4% wild fermented cider
Our “Of the Eye” series of ciders are designed to showcase the distinct nature of select PA apples, made with a singular variety. Our very first in the series was Gold Rush, a variety derived from the classic Golden Delicious, and we love bringing this back every year. With Gold Rush IV, we used apples harvested and pressed in 2024 by our friends at Weaver’s Orchard in Morgantown, PA, then wild fermented, and aged for over 18 months. The result is a bright and lightly tannic cider, with noticeable minerality, light acidity, and a pleasant earthy funk on the palate. May you find the Gold Rush the apple of your eye!

of the farm: sour core (aronia)

7.6% Spanish-style sour cider
Our Sour Core starts with a blend of acid-forward apples, fermented dry, then rested in stainless for 5 months. The result is reminiscent of a Basque-style cider, with a pronounced sour profile, some subtle minerality, and green apple on the palate. We took a small batch and rested it for more months on 2nd use Penna Paw Paws and loads of Saffron, the most valuable spice on the globe. This one is tart and golden, with that unmistakable banana-mango vibe from the Paw Paws. Pucker up for some Sour Core!

of the bine: nugget of fawn hill

7.1% dry hopped cider
Our “Of the Bine” series explores the influence of the wide array of hops on our dry Cider, this time bringing whole cone Nugget grown by our friends at Fawn Hill Hop Yard over in Reading, PA. A bit of an “old school” hop, Nugget was released in 1984, and was made famous in PA by Troeg’s Brewing (maybe you’ve heard of Nugget Nectar?). Here, a hefty dry hopping of these local Nugget makes for a pleasantly soft and herbal grapefruity cider with a hint of black pepper. It’s a lovely expression of PA hops in PA cider.

of the flowers: lilac (2026)

7.1%% dry cider rested on lilac flowers
Lilacs! The beautiful Spring blooms of the Lilac are traditionally thought to protect against negative energies, help you shake off the sleepiness of Winter, and begin a period of new growth and positivity. Our “Of the Flowers” series brings lovely and delicate floral notes to our refreshing dry cider. The 2026 Lilac was made with flowers sourced from the bushes of 5 different friends from around our community. A deep and earthy floral character pervades, making this a cider for sipping and savoring – and for embracing the positive elements of your life. Cheers!

of the farm: hot sticky spring

7.4% strawberry + mango + hot peppers cider
Hot! Sticky! Spring! Our “Hot Sticky Sweet” line of ciders brings you a tantalizing combo of fruit, light sweetness, and heat, a definite treat for your taste buds. This batch reflects the best of Spring, with loads of locally-grown Strawberries, hand-processed ripe Mingolo Mangos from a local market, and a house blend of hot Arbol and smoky Morita Peppers. As you sip, lovely Strawberry notes come first, with some underlying Mango sweetness mixing it up with the lightly smoky heat of the Peppers. Hot Sticky Spring!
