About
North Dakota’s first cidery, Cottonwood Cider House crafts its ciders in-house from apples grown on the family-owned Cottonwood Farm, the state’s largest commercial organic mixed fruit orchard near Ayr, ND. Led by cider maker Dan Heising and head chef Stacy Heising, they offer fan favorite ciders, experimental batches, weekend meals, and Sunday brunch at their seasonal taproom. Ciders are available at the taproom, local markets, or online orders.
