Got Apples?

For the third year in a row, Berkshire Cider Project is making a truly one-of-kind community cider from your backyard apples and forgotten trees across Berkshire County. Apple donors will receive FREE BOTTLES in 2023!

How it works:

DROP OFF at our tasting room at Greylock WORKS (508 State Rd, North Adams)

Sat 11-5, Sun 11-3, Mon 5-9pm

Questions? Email us at hi@berkshire-cider.com

A few tips:

1. Ugly apples make the best cider! We love crabapples and pears too!

2. Apples can be picked off the ground but should be clean with no broken skin or mold. We’ll sort and wash all apples before pressing.

3. No store-bought or orchard purchased apples, please.

4. Follow @berkshire_cider for updates
