Founded in 1936 by Walter and Eleanor Carlson in Harvard, Massachusetts, the orchard began as a diverse family farm before focusing heavily on premium fruit orchards. Today, the family legacy continues with a commitment to sustainable farming, producing high-quality local hard ciders that honor their historic New England roots.
Carlson Orchards has been a staple of the New England agricultural landscape since the mid-20th century, dedicating decades to growing premium fruit. Their hard ciders are crafted directly at the orchard's farm and press, utilizing state-of-the-art cold fermentation to preserve the delicate aromatics of individual apple varieties.
