OUR STORY

A cleared plot of land, a hand-planted orchard, and one strenuous
barn-raising later, the Ciderhouse was born. A homespun operation, rooted in friendship, and as deliciously audacious as the apples themselves.

You could say the Ciderhouse was a fortuitous accident. In 2020, when the world shut down, our cidermaker crafted a batch of cider from the apples growing on our property. Sharing his creation with close friends on Halloween night, it was unanimously decided, he was onto something special. With a joint passion for incredible cider, and uniquely complimentary skills, we set out to make the kind of cider we wanted to drink. Apple forward, small-batch cider made from our own fruit, crafted the traditional way.

HOW TO GET HERE

From the orchard we planted, to the barn we raised, it’s handpicked and handcrafted all the way.

WHAT GOES
AROUND, COMES
AROUND

We love where we live, and believe in treading as lightly as possible. From the way we farm, to the way we care for our orchard and craft our cider, we focus on low-impact, eco-friendly practices. The strength of our land and the vibrancy of our community are equally important to us, and we’re in good company. We’re thrilled to support, and be supported by local businesses and neighbouring orchards, who are as passionate about their work as we are about apples
