Quarryville Orchards

There's not much I can add to this already informative blog post. Aaron Esh is the main main at Quarryville Orchards.  He sells his fruit at many weekly street markets around Philadelphia. His cider is divine. But drink quickly, it's unpasteurized and starts "sparkling" as soon as you break the seal. Of course for some fans, that's when the fun gets started.

For the record, there is no federal law that requires the pasteurization of cider. However some states do, thankfully not Pennsylvania. The possibility of E coli contamination is limited to wind-fall apples in pastures that trees share with cattle. No reputable orchard would do this.
