About

Carr’s Ciderhouse is a family-run cidery handcrafting small-batch, wild-fermented hard ciders, cider syrup, apple cider vinegar, and switchel using apples from their historic Preservation Orchard and wild-foraged sources. Located on the northwest slope of Mt. Warner in Hadley, MA, they emphasize traditional methods, natural fermentation in uninsulated cellars over winter, and sustainable practices like no spraying, silvopasture with goats and sheep, and planting native trees. Their farm shop is open year-round, with a seasonal cider garden and nationwide online shipping.
