Farnum Hill cider is a “true” cider—an alcoholic beverage fermented from apples, exactly as a wine is fermented from grapes. Their ciders are 6.5–7.5% alcohol, tend toward the dry, sharp, and fruity and come from true cider apples of English, French, and American origin. Owners Steve Wood and Louisa Spencer are setting a trend for the return of cider’s pre-Prohibition glory. To quote Steve , “Johnny Appleseed planted the frontier for cider, after all “Mom and apple pie” came later, blotting out certain enjoyable truths from the national memory.”

Farnum Hill cider is a “true” cider – an alcoholic beverage fermented from apples, exactly as a wine is fermented from grapes. Their ciders are 6.5 -7.5% alcohol, tend toward the dry, sharp, and fruity and come from true cider apples of English, French, and American origin. Owners Steve Wood and Louisa Spencer are setting a trend for the return of cider’s pre-Prohibition glory. To quote Steve , “Johnny Appleseed planted the frontier for cider, after all – “Mom and apple pie” came later, blotting out certain enjoyable truths from the national memory.”
