Cheers to the Work of Hudson North Cider Co.
Kyle and Sara Sherrer, the sibling duo creators of Graft Cider, launched Hudson North Cider Co., a mission-driven cidery, in March 2020. In just a few years, the Sherrer pair and their crew have met their brand’s initial two goals:
- Bring a high-quality, full-bodied, hazy dry cider to the Hudson Valley (with 2/3 less sugar than their competitors, nonetheless)
- Preserve and maintain trails and waterways in the region
Hudson North Cider has raised and donated over $11,000 to the Trail Conference since their inception. In partnership with their distributors, they collectively donate 10 cents per gallon of cider sold and through their Taps for Trails initiative, $1 was donated for every pint sold. They are sponsors of the upcoming East Hudson Trails Map Set and the official cider at our Gala held annually in October.
Plus: Not only does Hudson North talk the talk, but they also hike the hike as trail maintainers of the Millbrook Mountain Trail in Minnewaska! Each fall the Hudson North crew are absolute trail champions raising both funds and awareness through their participation in Trail Conference’s Trail-A-Thon challenge.
As they continue to grow within the local market, Hudson North plans to grow its mission as more cider and trail lovers sip and support the outdoors and their initiative.
