The Dregs: The Dregs is all about sharing a cider maker's tradition. Each Fall comes pressing season and time to clear out the cellar for new cider. In past years, the remaining, long-matured ciders became the cider maker's share. We've grown up a little since then and have enough to share. The Dregs is a limited release blend of these mellow, long-aged ciders, and each bottling will be a unique and delicious surprise.

A Little Sweetness (Semi-Dry & Semi-Sweet Ciders)
Mountain Maelstrom: Perhaps our best-known cider. Semi-dry with fresh apple, pear and pineapple aromas, balanced by crisp acidity and soft tannins. A blend of 30+ varieties from small orchards in North Carolina and Virginia. A delicious, approachable, fruity, deep-straw colored cider with balanced sweetness, acidity and tannins.

Bent Apple: Semi-dry with toasted oak and caramel aromas balanced by fresh apple acidity. This cider takes its name from our sister farm — Bent Apple Farm — where much of the fruit was grown. It is a blend of Appalachian heirlooms such as Virginia Beauty, Double Red Delicious, Hewe’s Crab and Limbertwigs and European bittersweets such as Nehou and Tremlett’s Bitter. Bourbon barrel aging contributes subtle notes of oak and caramel.

Porch swing: We made this cider for warm weather sipping, but it’s all good anytime of year. It’s blended from late-season dessert apples, traditional cider varieties, and some wild crab apples that grow up on the hill behind our farm. We get citrus peel and mineral on the nose. The predominant flavor is of fresh apples with just a little sweetness and malolactic funk on the finish.
$11 per 500ml
Penny Stick: This semi-sweet cider is a blend of mountain grown apples from Ashe and Avery Counties, NC. A light addition of whole-flower Centennial hops enhances the natural green and candy apple aromas of the apples. The finished cider reminds us of the old-fashioned penny stick candies from our childhood, with a great balance of sweetness, acidity and fruity aromas.

Fermented in October, the varietal ciders were matured on their lees for five months before final blending and bottling.

We're proud to be among the few cideries able to procure Diane's fruit. This semi-dry cider is a blend of Roxbury Russet, Ashmead's, Cox's Orange Pippin and Grimes Golden from the Foggy Ridge 2022 harvest. Straw-colored with yellow-apple, peach and honeysuckle aromas and a bright, tannic finish that dissolves into creamy bubbles.

Fruit Wines & Steeped ciders
We use only local, whole fruit and ingredients. No aseptic purees.
Old Orchard Creek: This fruit wine is a blend of blueberries from Old Orchard Creek Farm in Ashe County and long-aged apple cider. To extract the blueberries' flavor and color, we fermented the crushed berries and pressed after fermentation, as you would a red wine. The result is a bubbly, semi-sweet yet tart cider with prominent blueberry aroma and flavor and a warm, herbaceous finish. Delicious alone, and an excellent mixer for your next craft cocktail creation.
Carpenter Hill: This cider is made with organic purple raspberries, grown in Ashe County, NC. The Carpenter Heirloom raspberry variety is a spontaneous hybrid of red and black varieties, developed by the Carpenter family in the 1960s and now grown on their farm along Helton Creek. We add whole raspberries to apple cider for secondary fermentation, creating a ruby-colored, semi-dry cider with fruity raspberry and citrus aromas.

Hopped Molley: Semi-sweet with orchard blossom, apple, pear and lychee aromas. This cider is a blend of late-season apples from the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia. We dry hop the cider with NC Grown Cascade hops from Tink’s Hop Farm and then mature for several months. The hops add complex floral aromas to a semi-sweet cider.
$11 per 500ml
Blackberry: A co-ferment of organic blackberries from River Ridge Farm, near Independence, VA and apple cider. Blackberry bramble and currant aromas with bright acidity.
$23 per 750ml
Stunt Pumpkin: This cider is made from heirloom pumpkins grown at Sexton Farms in Ashe County, NC. We grind and press fully ripe pumpkins and blend the juice with apple cider for fermentation. We call it stunt pumpkin because this cider does some pretty impressive tricks on the palette, yielding refreshing melon, tropical fruit and apple flavors. Nearly dry, this cider is excellent on its own, blended into a spritzer or served with fruit or sweets. No cinnamon, cloves or allspice were harmed in the production of this cider; only pumpkins.
$11 per 500ml
Waterfall Farm Maple: This apple wine is a blend of late-season apples including York, Stayman Winesap, and Rome. Post-fermentation, we racked to barrels and topped weekly over three months with Waterfall Farm maple syrup from Ashe County, NC. The gentle secondary fermentation yields a rich, sub-acid and near-dry cider with notes of oak, vanilla, and baked apple Drink now or will age well if saved for a cold winter night.
$20 per 750ml
Lavender Honey is a blend of apple cider, gently infused with fresh lavender flowers from Good Ashe Lavender Farm, in Ashe County, NC. The cider is subtly sweetened with our own apple blossom and wild flower honey from Bent Apple Farm, yielding a semi-dry cider with notes of lavender, lemon, orchard fruit, and a honeycomb finish. Delicious alone and an excellent mixer for cocktails.
