Ciders
2021 Sweetheart
Sweetheart is a small batch of 100% Red Delicious cider that was lovingly fermented outside all winter! It is very lightly carbonated. Rich, caramelized, just a hint of sweet. Made with our family’s Certified Organic fruit.
6.3% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2021 Crabby-pear
Crabby-Pear is a 50/50 Bartlett Pear and Hyslop Crabapple split. For the 2021 vintage we allowed the Bartlett Pear mash to sit on it’s own pomace and juices overnight, adding the crabapples the next day. The resulting cider is fragrant, mouth-watering, and round. It’s all pears, flowers, and vanilla on the nose, orchard fruit and green tea on the palate.
We make a limited supply of this popular cider so make sure to try it while you can!
8% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2021 PLUM
-SOLD OUT-
Plum is a small batch cider made by macerating whole Italian Kiss plums in Crabapple juice for one week. The rolling hills of our farm have these plums planted on key embankments as a way to decrease erosion. As there is not enough fruit for wholesale farmed production they are often forgotten about fruit used for this task alone. This year we decided to take them for cider instead!
Fragrant, heady, and tart.
This cider is super limited so make sure to try it while you can.
Made with our family’s Certified Organic fruit.

8.3% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2020 FORTUNA
Fortuna is named for the Roman goddess of Good Fortune. A blend of forgotten apples-and isn’t it our great fortune that we still have them! Equal parts Red Delicious, Spartan, Braeburn and Salish. Herbal and rich at the same time. Made with our family’s Certified Organic fruit.
6.5% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2020 PINK LADY

6.9% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2020 NEWTOWN GRANNY
This cider is equal parts Granny Smith and Newtown-Pippin apples. This was the first year our farm had enough of each of these two biannual varieties to juice them as stand alone! Crisp, light, honeyed. Made with our family’s Certified Organic fruit.
7.2% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
2020 FLORA 473ml
Flora is built out of every apple varietal we get at the cidery—every apple that doesn’t fit into one of our other ciders. In any given year that means Flora could contain up to 18 different varietals. This year it is primarily MacIntosh, Red Delicious, and Braeburn but also contains Newtown Pippin, Pink Lady, and Ambrosia.
Unfined & unfiltered traditional method ambient ferment dry & crisp.
This is a can-conditioned cider. That means, that just like everything else we make, the CO2 in this can has been produced by yeast.
7.6% alcohol in 473ml cans.
2020 AURORA
Aurora, named for the goddess of the Dawn, is our community cider. This year it is a blend of Jonagold and Golden Delicious apples fermented on Lock & Worth Merlot skins from right across the road. Colourful, bright, Merlot-y! Made with our family’s Certified Organic fruit.
7.9% alcohol in 750ml bottles.
