Natural Farmhouse Cider

Made in keeping with the harvest and the old work of the cellar, Heartsby True crafts small-batch farmhouse cider and fruit wines from feral trees, wild fruit, and tended orchards across the Catskills and Hudson Valley.

Each harvest brings its own fruit, familiar or not: apples, pears, currants, cherries, and whatever the season allows. Fermentations are slow, guided by native yeast, oak, time, and the room’s own weather.

Our ciders and co-ferments are dry, unfiltered, unfined, and made without added sulfites. Bottled with a natural sparkle, the work stays close to the fruit and honors the whole orchard: the soil, the weather, and the creatures we share this land with.

Much of our fruit comes from the generosity of neighbors and strangers across New York State, from forgotten trees behind barns to roadside apples left unpicked. We also work with small growers tending cider and antique apple varieties, bringing named orchard fruit into conversation with the unnamed apples we gather in the wild. If you’ve got a tree that’s been left to its own wild ways, we’d love to hear about it. Please get in touch!
