It all started way back in 2021, the best apple harvest to ever grace New Jersey left us with an abundance of fruit at the end of the season with no place to go. We put on our thinking caps and brainstormed what could be done with these apples….Pies? Applesauce? Apple Cheese? Apple Juice? Wine?!?! Thus we entered into the longest ever process of making wine and cider from our delicious homegrown fruits.
At Eden Ciders, we’re passionate about the quality of flavor that comes from unique apple varieties grown by local, small-scale orchards in Vermont. We produce a wide range of ciders, from driest to sweetest, with different methods of production, using single varieties and blends.
Steve has been bottling his own cider since 2003. As a musician firmly grounded in traditional American Old-time music, Steve can’t help but point out the many parallels to cider: in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, both cider and Old-time music were staples of American culture, only to be sidelined by more mechanized and industrial rivals.
Bird Dog is a family operation started by two brothers with a love for apples and a lot of help from good friends. We grew up on a farm in the heart of Western New York State apple country, which our dad still operates. He has 130 acres of the best eating apples and classic cider varieties like Kingston Black, Dabinett, Porter’s Perfection, Yarlington Mill, and Golden Russet. Currently our ciders are made from apples that come from there.
