Use caution as you approach this orchard because the scenic views of Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire may very well take your breath away. They don’t call it Apex for nothing. The orchard, which has been in Tim Smith’s family since 1828, now includes apples, peaches, nectarines, apricots, quince, pears, Asian pears, blueberries, table grapes and kiwi.
Aside from fruit, their new 4,000 sq. ft. retail store offers honey products from Smith’s Shelburne Honey Co., maple syrup from the Graves farm in Colrain and the Boyden farm in Conway, Shelburne Cider Vinegar and ciders from Apex, Cabot cheese, Yankee Pastime Farm’s maple cream, Sidehill Farm yogurt and “Just Soap” made in Ashfield.

Tasting room and bottle shop open all weekend! Berkshire Cider Project is a craft cidery focused on dry sparkling ciders. Located in a beautiful mill complex with adjacent café and distillery. Come visit for cider flights and bottles to-go.
Our ciders start in the orchards and forgotten apple trees across Berkshire country. We combine orchard grown and wild foraged apples with traditional techniques to craft sparkling ciders that are refreshingly complex yet accessible! By partnering with orchards across the county we hope to share our deep interest in agricultural development and sustainability. Located at the beautiful Greylock WORKS facility– a former textile mill turned event venue, co-working space and food incubator. Stop in at Mass MoCA just down the road.

Come and enjoy our CIDER GARDEN under the chestnut trees! Behind our well stocked Farm Shop filled with all kinds of cider goodies (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), fresh produce, and pasture-raised meat and eggs, all produced at our Hadley orchard. Come sit down and enjoy a full pour of hard cider, sample our shrubs and other cider goods, all while enjoying a cone of freshly roasted chestnuts and perusing the full-diet offerings we carry in our farmshop, all grown right here!
Preservation Orchard is the home of Carr's Ciderhouse, a cooperatively-run farm where we practice regenerative agriculture, and evolutionary orcharding — low-input silvopasture for carbon sequestration with our dear friends Meadowfed Lamb, no-spray for avian and pollinator habitat, no-till crop production via Preservation Farm, and traditional and experimental cultivars of cider fruit for pest and disease resistance. All of our hard ciders are naturally fermented. We find that this slow and low-temperature fermentation reveals depth and complexity in the cider. We press our apples, along with wild foraged apples and forgotten orchard apples, on a 100+ year old Mt.Gilead rack and cloth press.
We always look forward to CiderDays weekend and hope you will join us to drink and talk cider and farming. Please see our website or social media pages for event details, info about parking, and important updates.

MUSE Cider Bar
16 Walpole Rd, Haydenville, MA 01039
Thursdays 4 - 9 pm, Friday Nov 4 - 9 pm, Sunday 2 - 7 pm
We are a working farm with over a century of agricultural and orcharding history, home to over 250 fruit trees, including vintage apple trees with heirloom varieties. We craft small batch, artisanal ciders that are hand-blended primarily in American oak barrels or stainless steel tanks. The stone Cider Bar is an unusual work of masonry art, capped with 200-year-old slate, overlooking our apple orchard and the High Ridge Mountain. In late winter the building transforms into a working sugarhouse, where Farmer David produces hundreds of gallons of golden and amber syrups. The interior is a modern bar with a speakeasy culture; you can post up to the walnut bar with the Cider-makers, sip on farm infused cocktails while relaxing on the leather furniture, or twist tales around the marble tables. Like the rest of Valley View Farm, the Cider Bar is whimsically different than anything else you’ll find in Western Massachusetts.

Red Apple Farm is that place you can go and spend the day. With a Country Store and pick-your-own apples and blueberries, farm animals for the kids, and a dog-friendly craft beer and hard cider taproom and restaurant called the Brew Barn, it will be difficult to spend just a little time here. Our latest project is the Red Apple Farm Hard Cidery, which we formed in 2018 with the brew folks at Moon Hill Brewing Co. of Gardner, MA. We turned a storeroom into a fermentation room and the room next door into a hard cider tap room. We’ve since built an outdoor deck and rolled out a cider garden in a thicket of pines behind the cidery. The views are beautiful. You can see Wachusett Mountain or just look out over the cider pond, orchards, and blueberry fields. There’s a small stage too, for live music. It’s a stunning place!
Our Cidery pours our very own Hard Cider in traditional and seasonal flavors, as well as non-alcoholic drink options. Our first cider maker, Bill Rose, who passed on the farm to current owners Al and Nancy Rose, was known to keep some scrumpy and some of the better stuff in his basement on the farm, back in the day. He never sold it and didn’t always admit he had it. You might find him walking around the farm, and if so, get him to sign his book “Hard Apple Cider” by William Rose!
