APPLE & FRUIT VARIETI ES: A blend of organic Golden Russet, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady apples.

CIDERMAKER NOTES: This cider is a compliment to the farmer, the maker of hay bales, the stewards of the valley. There is much history of using straw and hay as a “cloth” in the apple press ( search rack and cloth press) to make cider. Harkening back to this methodology the cider was run through a very “fresh from the field” hay bale composed of a mixed assemblage of pasture species. The cider is crisp and refreshing and earthy and like walking through a field of fresh cut hay. 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Hot afternoons and evenings. Triple citrus grilled chicken, smoked salmon with goat cheese and a view.
