“As New York Cider continues to thrive, we’re so excited to be celebrating Cider Week New York twice a year. Cider has always been a mainstay for the fall but there are so many ways to enjoy cider throughout the year! Celebrating Cider Week New York in the spring will give us the chance to think about bringing the best of New York Cider to your events, menus, and gatherings during the spring and summer, too. Cider is not just for the fall anymore!” says Scott Ramsey, Executive Director, New York Cider Association.
Cider Week New York has been celebrated for over 10 years and is produced by the New York Cider Association. Directly tied to New York’s agricultural cash crop of apples, cider in New York has seen an unprecedented growth explosion of over 2400% over the past ten years and now has a $1.7 billion total economic impact to the NY state economy. With over 120 producers making over 5 million gallons of cider every year, New York continues to rank first in the country for the number of cider producers and second for apple growers.
