Many Hands, One Harvest
A little glimpse of harvest season at Gilchrist. Every apple is handpicked, and the fruit we use for cider is carefully sorted by hand, too. None of this happens without our wonderful Gilchrist crew and the family farms we partner with, many rooted in generations of growing. Good fruit takes good people, and we're awfully grateful for ours.
The Hands Behind the Harvest
Just a handful of the wonderful people who make harvest season possible. Long days in the orchard, picking apples, filling bins, and sharing in the work. We truly couldn't do this without our Gilchrist crew. So thankful for these folks and the care they put into every harvest.
Where It All Began
Before the bottles and cans, there were small batches of fresh cider poured into growlers. Over the past few years, we've spent countless hours pressing, tasting, experimenting, and learning what makes a truly good cider.
And we've learned that it all starts with the apples. We seek out cider-worthy varieties, from tart heritage apples to old estate favorites, carefully blending them to create something balanced, flavorful, and true to the season. Not simply sweet, but full of character.
It's been a labor of love from the very beginning, and we're still learning with every harvest.
Let the apples speak.
From Our Orchard to Your Table
Fast forward a few years, and our little batches of fresh cider have grown into something new. We're now crafting sparkling cider in cans and bottles, working alongside other family farms who share our care for good fruit and help us bring it all together.
Because we work with real apples and follow the seasons, availability may change throughout the year. Our online cider shop will always have the latest offerings, so if you're looking for cider, you're in the right place.
Whether it's for your own table or a thoughtful gift sent to someone you love, we're grateful to share a little goodness from the orchard with you.
Good fruit needs no fixing.
