CIDER BASICS

CIDER is pressed fresh every week at Hugus Fruit Farm in our state inspected facility on our rack-and-cloth cider press.  We usually begin in early September and press every week as long as we have apples, usually through January.

Our cider is treated with ultraviolet light, one of only two currently FDA approved processes for cider making.  Unlike heat pasteurization, the UV process maintains the nutrition and fresh flavor of cider.  No sugar is added to our cider.
