Cider Hill Farm is a place to come with family members to create and share memories. Walking through the orchards, or picking peaches, and then eating a hot cider donut is a wonderful time to just “be” with friends and family. When the veil lifts, we will be back out enjoying the farm with all of you. Many people are drawn to this experience every fall when temperatures cool and the leaves begin their change. Our fruit and vegetables are also very healthy for our families. We harvest at peak maturity, and often, our produce finds its way to your table the same day it was picked. We value each customer and hope to make them feel that Cider Hill is their farm, too.”
