We use one simple ingredient to make our ciders – apples.
The tastes, textures and aromas that define our ciders are deeply rooted, pun intended, in the quality of our apples. This is why our work begins on our orchard.
Shorty after we delved into cider making, we knew we wanted to grow our own fruit – to have ultimate control over the quality and variety of the apples for our cider. So in the spring of 2015, we purchased and revitalized a beautiful apple orchard in the Hudson Valley.
At Twin Star Orchards, we’re determined to grow the best raw materials for our cider. We are integrating organic, bio-dynamic and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices to work towards becoming a more sustainable and ecologically-conscious enterprise.
We believe that “ugly apples taste better” because we value high quality flavor over appearance and size. We currently have more than 50 acres planted with trees that are in full production and supply the majority of our cider making. A testament to our passion for the apple, in 2017, we planted nearly 8,000 baby trees of hard cider varieties and tart, disease-resistant heirloom varieties, perfect for making balanced, vibrant ciders with expressive personalities.
We expect to source all of our apples for cider production from our farm within 1-2 years and to be a supplier of cider and heirloom apples for other New York cider makers in 2-3 years, once our new trees are in full production.
