Ugly Apple Cider and Wines

This photo was taken on Thanksgiving weekend last year, and what a difference one year can make! Last year the trees were still loaded with fruit at Thanksgiving and this year they are bare. A lot can change in a year (like a pandemic) and as Forrest Gump said life really is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. This is very much like our little cider adventure"s philosophy and we are thankful for so much this year! . . . .... . #ontariocraftcider #wildcider #wildapples #lanarkcounty #comewander #discoveron #cider #thankful See more

Sorry folks we are closed for tastings today as we have an urgent apple picking situation. :)

This is a great article that really describes the type of cider we make here at Ugly Apple. No, we are not making the type of cider you will find in the LCBO but we believe we are making cider as it should be made, and is still made in other parts of the world. We drove down to the Finger Lakes region in New York a few years ago and tried some of the ciders similar to ours and realized we were making a product that was ahead of (and in some ways behind) its time. Read about what cider should be like and why a natural cider is best (hint: it's a living product made with local yeasts). https://www.bonappetit.com/s/naturally-fermented-hard-cider

A great article about Lanark County that mentions our humble little cidery! Lots of great businesses mentioned here, including Serendipity Alpacas and Llamas Farm and Sanctuary, Willaway Farm, Dairy Distillery and Hummingbird Chocolate Maker. Thanks to Lanark County Tourism for arranging for the visit from travel writer Ian Shantz and his lovely wife. https://torontosun.com//sweet-escape-catch-your-breath-in-

We're so excited to introduce this unique Lanark County product made with apples grown at the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area in Mississippi Mills. $1 from the sale of every bottle of cider will go back to the Mill of Kintail. #givingback https://www.insideottawavalley.com//10141230-ugly-apple-s/

Hey cider peeps! We have just bottled two new ciders - Kintail Gold and Sippin' Cider. Kintail Gold is made exclusively with apples from the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area, apples that would normally have been discarded. $1 from the sale of each bottle of Kintail Gold will be donated to the conservation area. Sippin' Cider is a an easy sipping cider that's perfect for the patio! Order yours online at www.uglyapple.ca or call us to arrange for a tasting of all our ciders in a COVID-friendly outdoor space.

Sorry folks - we had a couple of people trying to order the new ciders and our online ordering site wasn't working properly. It's all fixed now, you can choose from Wild Cider, El Escanciador or Forbes' Log Cabin Scrumpy now. https://ugly-apple.square.site/

It's been a long time to wait for a new batch of cider but we're finally there! We have two new ciders to share with you - Forbes' Log Cabin Scrumpy, made with apples harvested from one of the original settler cabins in Lanark County, and a new batch of El Escanciador, our award-winning cider made with Lanark Greening apples. Remember, we are a micro-cidery, which means when we sell out, there's no more for another year! :) http://uglyapple.ca/our-cider/

Thanks Ontario's Highlands for coming to film our little cidery in Lanark County. So many sweet and wonderful things to appreciate about our region!
