Ciders + Drinks + Food

of the woods: foeder core IV

7.8% cider
Foeder Core is a special project we have going on at the cidery. The project takes our main cider, Of the Farm: Core, made with a blend of apples grown and pressed at Weaver’s Orchard, and blends and ages it, solera-style, in our large Italian Oak Foeder. This is our fourth pull from the Foeder – which is never fully emptied, continually topped up, and is made as a perpetual blend. We think it’s finally showing its character, as a delightfully dry, crisp, and smooth cider with subtle minerality, light acidity, and underlying notes of honeydew and oak. Keep blending!

of the village: aronia III

7.9% aronia berry cider
2026 – Relationships are the founding basis of our Cidery, from the orchards and growers that we work with to the friends and neighbors we feed and drink. We love to source our ingredients from this network that forms our community. These Aronia Berries, or Choke Cherries, were grown at nearby Wayfarm in Chester Springs, and we loaded them into this cider. These unique native berries bring a lovely fruity character and a beautiful tannic backbone to our cider. The berry and subtle wine-like notes, along with a finishing astringency leaves you thirsting for more. Cheers to our Relations!

of the world: prickly pear

6.7% cider with cactus fruit
We were once perusing our local market, happened upon a couple of boxes of prickly pear, and we couldn’t resist! Now, we make this every year. Hand scooped and blended, these deep red colored cactus fruit make for a beautiful and deliciously fruity cider. We refer to these types of ciders as dry and fruity, and the Prickly Pear brings us something uniquely interesting – a taste of Latin America. What a fun way to enjoy cactus!

of the farm: the ReImagining XI

7.9% dry herbal + fruity cider
In a largely throw-away culture that promotes the adage, “Buy, Buy, Buy”, waste surrounds us. However, in a world Re-Imagined, things might be a little different; through creativity we might find a re-birth. Our “ReImagining” series takes ingredients that we have already used and finds them new life. The 11^th in this long-running series is made with second-use Elderberries, ripe Blackberries, and fistfuls of our garden-grown Tarragon. We think those fruits and herbs blend perfectly together, with a subtle herbal note and subdued fruit presence on the nose and palate, making for a delightfully refreshing and interesting cider.

of the eye: crimson crisp

7.7% wild fermented cider
Our “Of the Eye” series of ciders are made with a singular variety of apple, designed to showcase the distinct nature of select PA apples. Crimson Crisp, a variety derived from the classic Golden Delicious and other lesser known varieties are from the 2024 harvest of our friends at Weaver’s Orchard in Morgantown, PA. We traditionally pressed the apples in our 125 year old basket press, wild fermented, and aged it for well over a year on the lees. The result is a soft and easy cider, creamy with noticeable minerality, a bit of earthy funk, and flavor notes reminiscent of ripe white grapes. May you find the Crimson Crisp the apple of your eye!

of the vine: sour seyval

7.7% Spanish-style sour cider
Acid on Sour. We got the pomace of Seyval Blanc grapes, a hybrid French variety known for its acidity and fruitiness, and rested it on a batch of our Sour Core, an especially sour batch of our house Cider. The result is something akin to a Sour Patch Kid, an explosive, but dry and complex tartness, rich with tannins and a sweet/sour vibe on the palate. A mix of high acid grapes, and sour cider, this is a unique take on our cider-wine hybrid line, Of the Vine. Pucker up!

of the bine: nelson + motueka

7.9% dry hopped cider
It sometimes feels like there is a never-ending list of hops with which to play, and our Of the Bine series is our attempt to get through that list. With this iteration, we did a hefty dry-hopping with two popular New Zealand hops: Nelson Sauvin, known for its tropical fruit and white wine character, and Motueka, a hop that brings notes of citrus and lime. This is an easy and tropical fruity drinker, and shows why we continue to play on the bine!

of the woods: mystical saunter III

*Not currently on draft*
A slow and mindful stroll through the forest can bring feelings of peace and oneness, and maybe even lead to a mystical experience. In this spirit, we offer Of the Woods: Mystical Saunter, a series of ciders with significant time aging in wood. For our third in the series, we took a blend of apples harvested in 2022, wild fermented and aged on the lees for 3 months, then aged in a twice-used Whiskey barrel for 27 months. Served still, you’ll find the barrel on the nose, then a gentle acidity allows the apple notes to dance on the tongue, and the finish is tannic and dry. Please enjoy and appreciate the flow of time that has made this Mystical Saunter such a pleasure

of the village: elderberry magic

7.2% dry elderberry cider
Batch 2026 – The Elder Tree has a long and ancient history as a protective, healing, and magical plant. Mentioned by Hippocrates, the father of medicine, in 400 BC, the many uses of Elderberries over the centuries have included use as an immune system booster, and magically, to create fortuitous conditions in life. Batch 2026 brings well over a pound per gallon of berries, harvested from an urban farm called the Neighborhood Land Power Project in West Philadelphia. A beautiful pink hue is backed by drying and deep berry notes and a beautiful expression of these powerful berries. Sit back, sip some down, and enjoy the health and well being that Elderberry brings.
