Absolutely awesome place with awesome staff. Can beat the cider or the atmosphere. Awesome place to bring the family and pets.

Kid-friendliness: Excellent place for kids. Plenty of room outside for them to run around safely. They also have free games. And you can bring pet's!

Great Location with fantastic ciders. They offer flights, so you can get a chance to try new flavors! I love that the have seasonal flavors on tap and other flavors bottled if you wanted to take some home! They also offer a mix-and-match option to make a 6 pack!

The sangria was amazing but that's about where it ends. And unfortunately the sangria is the only thing not sold to go. The rest of everything was mediocre to not good at all. The bartender was nice handing ornaments from a box for the kids to put on the tree and taking the hooks out of one of them before handing it to my youngest so that he wouldn't get poked on the hook but the manager was super creepy and rude. He told us he was the owner. Later we found out that was a lie and it's his daddy who owns it but he's the manager.

He waited until we were alone in the parking lot across the street to approach us from behind. At the time i was buckling my kids in and he didn't make himself known until he was so close that i had no where to go and was trapped between him and the car door. This aggressive approach immediately started to cause all my kids to cry. He reported that he had watched us from his cameras at home but waited until we were in a dark empty parking lot to approach us. Claiming this was not a family friendly place and trying to mom shame us for bringing our kids, some pizza and cake to an empty place that serves beer and wine. Saying it was inappropriate and this wasn't a family friendly place He said that the high chair in the bathroom was vintage and the changing table in the bathroom is for the staff when they bring their kids to work !?!?! He claimed we broke a game which was in fact broken when we arrived and the kids mostly played video games on their tablets. We were literally the only people in the place until the last 30 minutes and the kids all cleaned up before leaving better than it was when we came in. The one and only thing our party did do that was not good, while leaving, one of the kids fell on the ice. I put a cup down, that had juice in it, to see if they were ok and forgot to pick it back up. He accused the kids of leaving a mess. It was a single cup that I left and he blamed the kids. As a mom of multiples you know the world can be tough on kids and quick to judge. I confidently say the kids were so well behaved and taking them out is how they learn to behave in public. No better place to practice than a place that is completely empty on a Friday night.

Ciders are all so delicious and they let you sample before you buy which is a big plus. Kevin and co. were so friendly and accommodating! I can’t recommend enough. Thank you from the Canadian girls!

Great little cidery, love the bar pretzels but other than that the food is lacking. If they have the maple on draft, get it

Great cider. Rustic barn like setting with indoor and outdoor seating. Cider was really tasty. Flight is a good way to taste a variety and they were very generous pours. A dozen options on draft and more in bottles. The staff can answer any questions about taste, very knowledgeable. They also had wines they make but we didn’t taste those. Honey crisp was my favorite. It’s hard to describe the flavor, it was light with a hint of apple and not sweet. New England Dry also very good tasted a little like champagne. Hibiscus ginger again also very good, not too sweet and had a little zing which was likely the ginger. Will definitely return.

Best New England Cider brewery. Super friendly staff and many varieties. Open year round. Grow and process their own apples.
