Prior to pressing, we sort the apples, keeping only the best ones for cider. Then the apples are washed and ground into an applesauce-like mixture.

OUR FLAVORS

Our ciders are fermented and aged in once-used oak whiskey barrels. Apple varieties and barrel aging create unique flavors ranging from dry and tart to semi-sweet. We invite you to visit and sample our uniquely delicious product.

HOW CIDER IS MADE

Green Macintosh and Empire apples

1.  APPLES

RICKETTS CIDERY

Next, we press the apples for about 15 minutes to produce the apple cider. The juice is pumped into barrels for aging, and the leftover apple solids are saved for local farmers to feed their pigs.
