Welcome

Redbyrd Orchard Cider is a small cidery with Certified Biodynamic managed orchards.

We grow heirloom, wild seedling, and cider apples to produce distinct hand-crafted orchard based ciders. Redbyrd Orchard Cider has been making cider for the public since 2010 and planted our first orchards in 2003.

Redbyrd Orchard is located in the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, on the traditional Gayogohó:no nation lands of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of New York state, and the United States of America.

In acknowledgement, a portion of all sales of Redbyrd cider are contributed to Ganondagan. Find out more about the Iroquois White Corn Project here.
