Farmstead Cider is hard cider hand made in Jackson Hole from local Wyoming and Rocky Mountain apples. We started out on a mission to protect bears from potentially deadly human conflict and ended up starting a cidery! The apples in our community have historically drawn many grizzly bears from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Now we make cider from those tempting apples, helping save the bears from themselves.
The ancient glacial soils, extreme sun, and cool nights all combine to make Wyoming a fantastic place to grow, harvest, and taste unique cider apple varieties including high-tannin crab apples. We are rediscovering forgotten 150+ year old apple trees, planting new orchards in places where growing apples was thought to be impossible, and teaching people about high altitude farming along the way.
Farmstead Cider presents our refreshing, bubbly, and easy drinking blend of dessert apple varieties. The bright acidity is balanced well with apple aromas, and the sugar has completely fermented away leaving a dry hard cider that is perfect for warm summer days and cold winter nights. The Mountain Dry Cider has aged in oak barrels for 3-6 months and has 7.5% alcohol content. It is wild fermented with no residual sugars or added sulphites. It comes in a 750mL bottle (wine bottle size).
