About the Company

Founded in 2007, Slyboro Ciderhouse is one of the original craft hard cidermakers in New York. Named for the centuries-old hamlet that is home to Hicks Orchard, Slyboro re-introduces the lost craft of traditional American ciders.

At Slyboro Ciderhouse, you can expect excellent craft hard cider made from apples from our own orchard and made on the premises. We sell our cider through our tasting room, the farmers market in Saratoga, Troy and Albany, and through self-distribution to area liquor stores and restaurants and online sales.
