Headwater Cider

A 2,000 tree orchard in Hawley, growing apples fermented into hard cider right at the orchard. I grow apples using IPM methods and do not use restricted-use sprays. I use only apples, sugar, and yeast to ferment the cider. The cider is crisp, dry, and refreshing. It is gluten-free and vegan-friendly. I slow-ferment all winter long, and bottle in spring. I never pasteurize or force carbonate.

I hope you enjoy the ciders. You’ll find them crisp, clean, and dry. They have bright apple bouquet and flavor, yet enough backbone to stand up to a sharp cheese or rich meal. The ciders are available at many fine local stores. If you don’t see them in your favorite store, please have the proprietor contact me.
