They are friendly warm hearted people that really care about what they, their products and people. I am hoping to have an event there one day as the smell of lavender will uplift and give you tranquility. The mountain views are beautiful and cows next door are adorable. Only sad thing is they close September so only few weeks left to go. Also, buy some of their lavender products at Troys Farmers Market and start to live in bliss

One of my favorite places for a yearly fall family tradition! Apple season means apple picking,…read moreapple cider donuts, hard cider & fun for the entire gang. Feeding & visiting the goats is always a hit for the kids. Depending on when you go, you can sometimes expect a bounce house, pony rides, food vendors, live music etc. The donut line can get absurdly long but it's never too long of a wait for those local-favorite cider donuts! The donuts are always fresh & warm & otherworldly delicious. The barn also offers many local treats, apple cider, fresh eggs & veggies, fudge, honey, handmade products & so much more. Look up to see the train hanging from the ceiling! Slyboro Ciderhouse is usually serving hard cider, beer on tap, cocktails etc.

SERVICE-DOG DISCRIMINATION…read more I arrived with my trained service dog. Don, the parking attendant, told me my service dog could not leave my vehicle, claiming federal food-safety laws prohibited it. I explained that my dog is a service animal and that the ADA specifically addresses this issue that service dogs are exempt. I was directed to management. I spoke with Kim, the Cider House manager, and directed her to the U.S. Department of Justice ADA website, including the information explaining that food-safety rules do not provide a blanket exception to exclude service animals. They were given the federal guidance. They chose to ignore it. She contacted the owner. The owner's "solution" was that I could drive my car into the orchard..but my service dog had to remain inside the car not with me My service dog is necessary to mitigate my disability. A service dog locked inside a vehicle cannot perform those disability-related functions for me while I am outside the vehicle. That is not equal access. I told them directly that I believed I was being discriminated against. I told them I had three witnesses and that I would be filing a federal discrimination complaint. Their response? They were comfortable with that .....and believed they had done nothing wrong. What happened was humiliating and deeply upsetting. I went to Hicks Orchard expecting to participate like everyone else. Instead, I was singled out because of my disability and told that the service animal I rely on could not accompany me. A service animal sitting in a car cannot mitigate a disability. Equal access means being able to use the service animal I rely on...not being told I am not allowed to use assistance to mitigate my disability. We have been a team for over 6 years and travel alot internationally. We are well versed in these experiences and try to politely educate others. When we encounter people who aren't fully aware of service dog access rights, we are typically met with understanding once we show them ADA laws. Hicks refused to even consider they may misunderstand federal laws. I hope they will become more educated on ADA public access rights for service dogs to avoid excluding those with disabilities and the impact it has on their life's. We unfortunately left and will not return. our family has been visiting Hicks for years as a family tradition. our family and service dog was welcomed with open arms down the road at McWhorter's Orchard and had a great time there instead. we will continue our family tradition there moving forward.

My friend and I stopped by when we were in Manchester to do some hiking during the fall. This place was amazing. Incredible views while picking apples in a huge orchard. They have tons of different varieties of apples. Honey crisps are definitely my favorite. Ended up picking a whole bushel of apples. The price is definitely reasonable. The staff is incredible friendly and encourage you to "sample" the apples while picking. They have a shop where they sell apple cider, donuts, maple syrup, and some other items. I'm so glad I found this place. I will definitely be back next year!

I prefer sweeter cider, but it's good to know for certain after trying the "dry" ciders here. Cherry cider was eh, too tart and dry for me. Food was great (Mediterranean tart, heirloom potato leek tart, soft pretzel with mustard, and smokey apple chili soup with beef). I also bought a half dozen bag of cider donuts, and they were delicious.

We were able to get there for the Cider Garden to be open. Two flights got us a taste of almost all of the ciders! available. What a great variety. We ordered our flights and a couple bowls of soup at the counter, and found a seat in the garden. Surrounded by the orchards and flower gardens, this was a fantastic setting to sample ciders and have a bite. Soups were brought to us in the garden, and we really had a chance to enjoy the day. We stopped in the store to get a case of our favorite ciders to take home - and, of course, a couple fresh apple cider donuts for the road.
