Ploughman is the proud maker of ciders made from apples grown in Adams County, PA. We grow, harvest and produce our ciders from a single source: the orchards at Three Springs Fruit Farm.

Stark CiderAmerican Strong Cider
8.5% Alc./Vol. Our debut release, Stark is made from Stayman and Spitzenberg apples, both heirloom American varietals. Its citrusy, fruit-forward notes remind us of a German radler—a shandy of juice and beer—so we named this high-octane cider Stark, German for strong. Off-dry and crisp, enjoy this one as you would a glass of wine. |

Lupulin LummoxAmerican Cider Hopped with Citra
8.5% Alc./Vol. Humulus lupulus is the Latin name for hops, the flowers that give an IPA its grassy flavor. Citra hops, matched with the sweetness of Jonagold and the tartness of Gold Rush apples, yield a mouth-watering cider with subtle sweetness. Big and brassy, yet balanced. KenspeckleAmerican Cider with Chokeberries
8.5% Alc./Vol. Scottish for conspicuous, there’s no missing the bright color of this cider. It comes from chokeberries, also called aronia berries. The small, deep purple fruit is bitter and astringent on its own, but fermented with sweet juice from Stayman, Rome, and Jonagold apples it yields a complex cider, dry and slightly tannic, with strawberry and cherry aromas. |

Pinot N'ArletWild Fermented Cider Aged On Pinot Noir Skins
7.5% Alc./Vol. Apples were our first love, but when a neighbor offered us batch of Pennsylvania-grown Pinot Noir grapes, we couldn’t say no. This wild yeast fermented cider combines the elegance of these grapes with the ruddy, rustic sweetness of Macoun and Arlet (hence the name) apples. Dry and blush-colored, it’s extremely food-friendly. RosedaleAmerican Dry Cider with Crabapples
7.8% Alc./Vol. Rugged authenticity can be hard to find. Bluesman Robert Johnson went down to The Crossroads. We found ours in two backyard crabapple trees and this unfiltered cider from their fruits. That Crossroads town, those apples, and this cider share a common name – Rosedale. |

MuhibbahDry Cider with Malaysian Spices
8.5% Alc./Vol. A Malay word meaning cross-cultural harmony, Muhibbah was inspired by a series of Cheese, Sambal, & Cider collaboration dinners with Malaysian chef Ange Branca and cheesemaker Jamie Png. Incorporating makrut lime leaves, star anise, cumin and coriander into a dry cider, we’ve created a drink that we hope embodies the Muhibbah values of tolerance, understanding, and friendship across diversity. DornickAmerican Dry Cider
8.5% Alc./Vol. We're proud of Adams County, PA, where we live and make our ciders. In each bottle we share some of its terroir with you. The term Dornick evokes a stony, pebbly quality – like the limestone and fractured white quartz under the apple trees of our home orchards. The stones emerge under the trees each spring when the snow melts. This cider, born of bold, robust apples, offers aromas of strawberry, butterscotch, and autumn leaves. We let the cider emerge in its own time from the land when it is ready. Full and satisfying, and unique every year. |
"For straight-on sipping, though, I'm partial to...Lupulin Lummox,
which infuses a slightly sweeter blend of juicy Gold Rush
and Jonagold with Citra hops."
Craig Laban, Philadelphia Inquirer, restaurant critic
