High in the deserts and mountains of northern New Mexico grow some of the oldest apple orchards in America.

Here, 400 years ago, Spanish colonial settlers planted
rootstock lovingly carried from Asturias, the old world kingdom in northwest Spain on the
wild green coast of the Bay of Biscay.

The old world apple seedlings thrived in the hot days,
cold nights and mineral rich soils of New Spain, the majestic land that in l912 would become the State of New Mexico.

The "silver apples of the moon and golden apples of the sun" grew robust, tart and tangy.

Today a light, crisp cider of premium quality is pressed from these magical apples by The Santa Fe Cider Company and presented in champagne bottles fit to grace the most elegant tables. Indeed, Santa Fe Cider is served in many of Santa Fe's renowned restaurants and sold in most of "The City Different's" natural food markets.

The Santa Fe Cider Company was founded in 1999 by Cidermasters Paul and Ruth Laur with the intention of reviving fine traditional ciders,  developing and supporting New Mexico's organic apple orchards and boosting the region's
green economy. Join us in raising a glass of Santa Fe Sparkling Cider in a toast to health,  prosperity and happiness ...
