Cider Hill Road, since 1962
A small mill with a big press.
Hargrist is a family orchard with a wooden press in the old milk house and a stand out front.
What goes into the jug
The cider is a blend. Most of the apples come from our own rows; the rest come from two neighbors’ orchards within ten miles. We blend sweet and tart apples each week so the cider tastes about the same from one Saturday to the next.
Nothing is added. If it is cloudy and a little different this week, that is the apples.
Find us
2260 Cider Hill Road, Alder Ford.
Friday to Sunday, 9am to 4pm, through December 6. We take a break from the middle of December until September.
Who is at the stand
Nell and Tobias Hargrist run the press. Their kids run the donut fryer, with supervision. If you ask which apple is best for pie, you will get an honest answer and a second opinion.
Come on a Saturday morning.
Order ahead and we will keep your jug cold.
