takes almost a year of aging for it to produce the mellow flavors of cyser. It is served cold. Old fashioned apples
Davis and Farrar are going to plant about 100 old fashioned cider apples trees on their farm this spring; George Wilson is helping them to select the right trees. This will include some of the same kind of apples Thomas Jefferson grew at Monticello.
Cider apples are very different than , eating or “dessert” apples. Some apples that make good hard cider taste like ear wax. The best kind of apples are crab apples.
Davis and Farrar may even get some beehives, and make their own honey on the farm.
“That the whole process has been a lot of fun,” said Farrar.
Weasel Hill Farm cannot sell their product just yet, since they have to go through the licensing process.
Their goal is to start a smallscale commercial production within the next two years, hoping to sell to the local retailers and restaurants, marketing their cyser as yet another unique Rappahannock County product. Davis added that she learns something new about cyser eveiy day, and thinks it will be a great product for Rappahannock County.
