Episode 134 – Eden Ciders – Eleanor Leger

This episode features ⁠⁠⁠Eleanor Leger⁠ of ⁠⁠⁠Eden Ciders⁠ ⁠.

It was December 2006 when Eleanor and Albert went to Montreal. They tasted ice cider for the first time. Their reaction was that it was amazing. They thought that they could procduce this ice cider in Vermont. The made their first batch in their basement. Six years after making it and selling to to local restaurants they began to explore what has become Eden Cider. In the beginning cider wasn’t a thing in the United States. It was considered more of a desert wine. They discovered different apple varietals to make a wider array of ciders. Eleanor and Albert have come a long way from their infancy. Today they produce unique, well crafted ciders that are layered in flavor, depth and character. So, why not cider? Pick up a bottle or can and taste for yourself.

We had such a fantastic tour of the orchard and farm. Amy gave us so much insight into the earth to market to bottle concept that they have designed. Their 37 acres feels more like a budding garden estate. Gary and Amy graduated college in 1983. The proceeded to explore the opportunity of starting a winery. They land they had found didn’t provide for growing grapes. Although, fruits, vegetables and apples in particular fit in perfectly. Over time, Gary began experimenting with cider. In 2018 they got their license to produce and sell their cider. They have been focusing on grafting and planting apple trees specifically for cider. The result is wonderful flavorful cider that is full of character. You want to add this destination to your calendar. Pick up a bottle, relax enjoy all that Manoff Market Cidery has to offer.
