The land in which you’ll find Beardsley's Cider Mill & Orchard has been owned and operated by the Beardsley family since 1849. Originally, it was a dairy farm, and everything from hay to turkeys has been raised there. Currently, Beardsley’s has over 400 peach, nectarine, and plum trees and over 10,000 dwarf apple trees. They offer the perfect pick-your-own orchard experience for the entire family to enjoy. Apple varieties which you’ll find there include gala, honey crisp, empire, liberty, red delicious, and the deep, dark red enterprise apple among many others. Be sure to try their array of cider and hard cider while you’re there as well.
