As Matt’s Meals fans know, I am a fan of cider, especially when it is crafted by indepdent apple fans who know what they are doing and do it all well.
That is why I am so excited to tell people about Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, MA!
Using special apples from 1,000 of their 10,000 trees, the folks at Cider Hill have been farmking for 40 years and pressing, bottling and selling their own ciders on their farm since 2017. From seasonal selections to special editions like their rum barrel-aged frost cider, they press every flavor they can out of their 145 acres.
Despite the name, Cider Hill offers more than cider, including fruit and berry picking and their annual Tulip Fesival during which guests can cut their own tulips. They also offer a young farmers area with live anumals and a giant sandbox and host orchard walks and even outdoor workouts amidst their trees and flowers! In addition to taking the ciders home, Cider Farm’s farm store and CSA program offer locally-grown produce and herbs that can help anyone make a great meal to go with any cider.
Each weekend, Cider Hill opens up its popular Cider Bar to guests for award-winning ciders on tap and (through May 16) live music, during which their own food truck offers delicious options to enjoy before closing on a sweet note with the Farm’s own cider donuts.
No matter what the season or what the reason, a visit to Cider Hill Farm is always ripe for the picking!
