Far From The Tree Cider is a craft cider house specializing in unique, high-quality hard cider made from local apples and all-natural ingredients. Most apples don’t fall far from the tree, and the ciders made from them are generally quite similar. We are making cider based on a very different philosophy. Far From The Tree Hard Cider respects tradition by controlling the entire production process from apple pressing straight through to canning. The result is a product that brings cider back to its roots. (Curated content from www.farfromthetreecider.com)
