Riverside Farms is a 5th generation family farm in Hood River, Oregon, founded in 1886, producing Rivercider farmhouse hard ciders and perry from heirloom Newtown apples and pears grown on-site. Their small-batch ciders are dry, barrel-aged in oak, naturally fermented with local honey for bottle conditioning, and infused with regional flavors like blackberry, plums, and cherries. They emphasize purity with no added sugars, artificial flavors, or GMOs, crafted from farm to bottle in their on-site cider barn.
