In the late 1970s, the Shapley family donated a piece of land to our home town in honor of family patriarch, Harlow Shapley. The Shapley’s had allowed us to grow apples on a chunk of that land, and the town agreed to let us continue. We call this area of the orchard “The Shapley Land” and it is where most of our Gala apples are grown today. A first of its kind, this cider is made with real Gala apples hence the name Shapley’s Gala. Gala apples are notoriously sweet but, to our surprise, this hard cider is not. Enjoy this cider’s big apple taste that is unlike any other hard cider you have tried!
Carlson Orchards was founded in 1936 by Walter and Eleanor Carlson. In the thirties and forties, they made their living from a diversified farm of chickens, cows, potatoes and apples. In the late sixties, the farm specialized in fruits with apples being the main crop. The Carlsons are dedicated to growing the best tree fruits, blueberries, and raspberries as well as producing the best tasting apple cider available anywhere.
Today Bruce, Frank and Robert Carlson, the three proud sons of Walter & Eleanor, and Katie Carlson, Franklyn Carlson's daughter, are dedicated to maintaining their family’s fine reputation and the great tradition of high quality apple and apple products that was born over 83 years ago.
In 2015 we added hard cider to list of wonderful apple products. Oak Hill Blend is the flagship of our hard cider business. We added Honey Crisp, Shandy Stand and Harvard Harvest over the past year and a half.
