"Butterfly Bakery gives us a market we don’t have to invent or manage every single day. If I get a flat tire, I’m not missing my one chance to sell that week. Our days are more predictable and our mission is clearer. We can focus on growing 15 crops really well instead of juggling 30 just to stay competitive at the farmers’ market. I can focus on farming instead of marketing."

Eden Ciders

Eden Ciders is passionate about the quality of flavor that comes from unique apple varieties grown by local, small-scale orchards in Vermont. They produce a wide range of ciders, from driest to sweetest, with different methods of production, using single varieties and blends. Consistent through everything they do is a commitment to supporting small-scale family orchards, to the use of holistic and regenerative orcharding practices, and to rare tannic and heirloom apple varieties grown expressly for cider making. You really can taste the fantastic fruit character of these apples in each of Eden's ciders.

Eden Ciders was founded in 2007 by Eleanor & Albert Leger when they purchased an abandoned dairy farm in West Charleston, Vermont and made an experimental batch of Ice Cider in the basement of their home. Slowly, they expanded the team to include amazing people like head orchardist Ben Applegate, and built connections with other Vermont orchards passionate about sustainable agriculture and working with the local terroir.
