“Cider Week New York is the perfect time for New York State to showcase its world-class cider makers. Mapping out a trail to visit several cideries and orchards to explore a part of the state you haven’t seen before or attending a local cider festival or restaurant featuring New York Cider is an iconic way to experience the best of New York’s harvest,” says Scott Ramsey, Executive Director, 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 lead the country in the number of cider producers and is second for apple growers. Cider Week New York has been celebrated for over 12 years and is produced by the New York Cider Association. For more information, visit ciderweeknewyork.com.
