Hard Cider & Non-Alcoholic Ciders
Cider Hill Cellars, owned and operated by the 3rd generation of the Cook family, is located on the farm. The first hard cider orchard was planted in 2012 and then in 2017 the cidery officially opened producing what is known as Orchard Cider. This is hard cider made only from our own fruit that is planted, grown, harvested and pressed here on our 145 acre farm. With 10,000 fruit trees on Cider Hill Farm, 1,000 of these are specifically used for the hard cider making process.
Hard Cider Blends
Cider Hill Cellar blends are available in the store daily when we are open mid-April through mid-December. MA State law cider sales are not allowed until 11 am on Sundays. Customers must be 21 or older, all minors on tours and tastings must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
SPRING
Fully dry cider with a delicate body and crisp character created with a blend of heritage American apples. Initially causing your mouth to water, Spring develops a clean and fruity flavor ending with a long lasting but mild tannic finish. This is a fully dry cider with no residual sugar and a gentle sparkle. 8% ABV. Pairs well with rich, fried, or oily foods. 2019 Gold Medal for Modern Cider - Dry
SUMMER
A light body and refreshing character created with a blend of heritage American apples. At first tart, Summer has a balanced sweetness and acidity with a flawless flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the taste buds after only one glass. Summer is semi sweet with some residual sugar and gentle sparkle. 8% ABV. Pairs well with lean meats, savory, or spicy foods. 2022 Best in Class & Gold Medal Modern Cider - Sweet
AUTUMN
Semi dry cider with a full body and rich character. Seemingly mild at first sip, Autumn has a gentle fruit flavor and low acidity but soon fills your mouth with soft tannins that linger. 8% ABV. Pairs well with tart, acidic foods such as chicken piccata and sharp cheeses.
RASPBERRY HARVEST
Limited release semi-sweet cider made once a year. It takes a full pound of our raspberries along with a blend of our heritage American apples to make each bottle. A sip of raspberry harvest starts with a sweet burst of raspberry flavor, followed by a refreshing tartness and lingering berry finish that only fresh picked fruit can provide. 8% ABV. 2024 Best in Class - Fruit Cider
STRAWBERRY HARVEST
Limited release cider made once a year. A sip of Strawberry Harvest begins with the flavor of rich fully ripened strawberries followed by a light apple and berry tartness which fades to a lingering berry finish that only fresh picked fruit can provide. It takes over 2 pounds of our own fresh strawberries blended with our cider to make each bottle. 8% ABV. Pairs well with summer salads and dark chocolate. 2019 Gold Medal for Fruit Cider
WINTER
Winter is a special cider variety known as a frost cider. Time consuming and labor intensive to make, we freeze fresh pressed cider and thaw it slowly to produce an intensely rich juice. By fermenting this carefully over many months, we create Winter. There are 20 apples inside this bottle. Winter is both intensely sweet and crisp with a depth of flavor that cannot be matched by any other cider and will improve for several years in the bottle. Winter is a dessert cider, super sweet with high residual sugar, still. 12.5% ABV.

BOURBON BARREL AGED WINTER
Aged for 2 years in a bourbon barrel, Bourbon Barrel Aged Winter is one of a kind limited release. With a rich aroma of dark caramel, vanilla, and baked apple pie, a sip of this frost cider reveals a flavor with depth to match. Slight spice from the oak, along with delicate tannin and mild apple tartness to the finish makes this a cider to be savored. There are 20 apples in this bottle, and it will improve with age for several years. 12.5% ABV. This frost cider is dessert.
SOUR CHERRY WINTER
This limited release frost cider takes a quarter pound of sour cherries and 20 apples to make each bottle. Time consuming and labor intensive, this carefully blended ice cider has a depth of flavor that only fresh picked cherries can provide. This is dessert in itself. 12.5% ABV.
"This cidery will only be as big as our orchards can support and our land can sustain. In a rare position to create cider that is truly orchard to bottle, we can oversee 100% of the production process. From planting, pruning, picking, pressing, to fermentation, every aspect of what we do is guided towards producing cider of the highest quality."
– Chadd Cook, Founder of Cider Hill Cellars
"Visit us at the Outdoor Cider Bar on Saturdays 11-4 and Sundays 12-4 for cider on tap along with free live music 12-3 pm. We also have additional, limited addition ciders that aren't bottled in the store. Make sure to ask me about Kingston Black and our non-alcoholic sparkling options."
- Gregg Cook, Bar & Bottling Manager
Non-Alcoholic Ciders
SWEET APPLE CIDER
Pure farm happiness! Cider Hill Farm presses award-winning sweet cider that is also used in making our fan favorite cider donuts. Fresh sweet cider is available after Labor Day once we we begin pressing apples. The field crew, including Miti sen here, hand pick select apples all fall that are pressed and hand-bottled. Watch the crew press and bottle every Thursday in the fall! This cider is unpasterurized.
NON-ALCOHOLIC SPARKLING
Made and bottled on the farm only using apples from our own orchards, this non-alcoholic sparkling sweet cider is a perfect addition to any table. This fan favorite cider smells and tastes like a crate of freshly picked apples. Find it in the refrigerator section in the farm store and on tap at the cider bar.
