farmhouse cider

Orchard-pressed apple drink

Farmhouse cider is cider made using traditional methods, typically in small batches with minimal processing.

The term evokes rustic authenticity—wild or native yeasts, unfiltered juice, and flavor profiles that vary with each pressing.

Farmhouse cider tends to be drier and more complex than mass-produced versions: We picked up some farmhouse cider at the orchard.
