"...all strong and pleasant cider excites and cleanses the stomach, strengthens digestion, and infallibly frees the kidneys and bladder from breeding gravel and stone."
John Evelyn, Pomona, 1664
It's not about the journey, it's about the destination.
At Foggy Ridge Cider we value a rural life. Dirt roads, starry night time skies and plenty of wildlife are more important to us than WalMart, Hardees or a shopping mall. The surrounding three counties average 1.3 traffic lights and less than 20,000 people per county. This is a good thing.
We are not on the beaten path, but we are easy to find and will greet all visitors with a warm and gracious welcome. Call ahead and arrange a special tour with the cidermaker. Join one of our special events in the spring, summer or fall. Or visit on most weekends between May and October—we are an intimately run business so you may find a walkie talkie on the Cider House door with instructions to call us in from the orchard.
