Hudson North Cider Co. was born from a passion for craft cider and deep commitment to Hudson Valley terroir and agricultural heritage. Founded in 2019 by producers working with Minard Farms—a sixth-generation family farm in the region—Hudson North sources fresh-pressed apples including high-tannin, bittersweet cider varieties that provide structure and complexity to the final expression. Their Standard Cider blends these local apples into a gluten-free expression at 5% ABV, creating the crisp, full-bodied profile that reminds drinkers of small-batch cider from a local farm stand. The company is equally committed to environmental stewardship, donating a portion of sales to trail conservation efforts and land preservation. This is cider that tastes like where it comes from, made by people who genuinely care about the land and its sustainable future.
