Great place to get cider. Super fun staff with plenty of options to try. I had a great time and loved music and activities. Great for families as well. You can reserve a spot by a fire pit or in some of the more secluded igloos. We had a great time around other folks at the picnic tables. Update 8/27/2023 went back again still amazing. Highly recommend you visit!

This place is a hidden gem and should be kept that way. Today was perfect weather and I didn’t even know there was a cidery in Maryland at all! The slushees hit the spot, we tried the blackberry and apple cider. We also tried the food truck there, Tacos Borrachos. The food was good and they even have a vegan option. There’s an ice cream truck that serves us ices cream and shaved ice or mixed! Try the Hawaiian breeze and grape. There was plenty of parking with ample space to spread out group and it wasn’t packed which made it feel more private. If ciders your thing, the make a pit stop here.

This place is tucked away but there are plenty of signs to show you the way. The road there is super bumpy and gravelly. When you get there you just check in and then sit down or get food and drinks. One thing we found out right before we left is that they offer hard cider slushy flights and regular non alcoholic cider slashes. The food it a little limited with it mainly being small bites of a charcuterie board that is a prepackaged boarshead or crackers, but there was a food truck when we went there for more food. It has a great open space to sit talk and hang out in. It is super kid friendly but it can be a little hard to take a stroller that doesn't have larger wheels as the whole area is lawn. They also have fire pits that can be reserved and used which seems like it would be great for groups to enjoy. While I was not in love with all the hard ciders there there is plenty to enjoy about the place outside of that. Also the nonalcoholic cider is amazing as it hits a balance where it is just sweet enough and any of the hard ciders you don't like so much are elevated to being great if mixed with the normal cider.

Had a great time. Great place to spend a couple hours outdoors plus there's apple cider to drink on site. There are a few lite snack options offered. The tables are well spaces apart and they have set up markers on them to indicate which table has been wiped clean and which was recently used.

Visited this place for the first time on 9/28/2024 and picked our own apples. A lot of different varieties of apples to pick from. The price is by the size of bags, not by weight. You pay for small, medium, or large bag at the entrance. You pick, fill the bag, and walk out. You can taste and buy ciders there also. Not really cheap, but great experience. Really enjoyed it!

It was my first time and i liked the place, I went because I was told there was an african food truck there and to my surprise it was true! The location is a vast land with individual fire-pits and nice cider drinks ! It was fun , friendly people and enough space for kids to run around. My family and I truly loved

Love this place, I almost don't want to review it just to keep it a hidden gem! Lots of room for social distancing. This year they have begun reservations so plan in advance. Fire pits, picnic tables, or you can bring your own chairs. They have food trucks and snacks to go with the cider. Non-alcoholic available for kids and plenty of space to run around. The cider is great, especially the hot mulled cider in the fall! :)
