Carr’s Ciderhouse has been eight years in the making (twice that, if you count dreaming) and we are so pleased to launch our line of hand-made, barrel-aged, small-batch hard cider. Our young orchard of 1500 apple trees was planted in 2007 on the north-west slope of Mount Warner in North Hadley, Massachusetts. It’s just beginning to yield now! A spectacular view of the Connecticut River Valley spreads out below the orchard, but more importantly, our shallow sandy-loam soil, underlain with quartzite and feldspar bedrock, enables us to grow intensely-flavored apples of high sugar content.
