Organic Apple Cider
What it is
This is a beverage made from pressed organic apples. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, meaning it retains more of the natural apple pulp and flavor. The cider is cloudy and has a rich, full-bodied taste. It is a pure expression of the apple, with no added sugars or preservatives. The apples used are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to organic farming practices.
