Luscious Hard Cider
Michael and I are big fans of hard cider. And it seems there are many who feel the same way. Today on NPR you’ll find a great story on hard cider at Poverty Lane Orchard in New Hampshire. Give it listen and it’ll make you smile.
It was shared with me by Hick’s Orchard in Granville, NY, my absolutely favorite orchard. Maybe it’s because I used to live near by once upon a time and I could barely wait for the apples to ripen. Hick’s Orchard is the oldest U-Pick apple farm in the state of New York. Their orchard is charming, beautiful and very fun. Their classic apple cider is a premium product. We go out of our way to procure gallons for as long as it flows. A few years ago Hick’s started Slyboro Ciderhouse and they’ve never looked back. The motto on their website is “reviving lost spirits”. They make three varieties of hard cider; still, sparkling and ice. These beverages are not to be missed. You can find places to purchase them on the Slyboro website. Or go there yourself! It’s well worth the trip.
