About

Farnum Hill Ciders is a mom and pop cidery and orchard owned and operated by Louisa Spencer and Stephen Wood at Poverty Lane Orchards in Lebanon, New Hampshire. They have been growing apples on the same land since 1965 and produce dry ciders fermented from their own apples. They emphasize traditional, low-sugar ciders and host events like Growler Days.
