BLACK DIAMOND CIDER

Black Diamond Cider was started in 2014 by Jackie and Ian Merwin, owners of Black Diamond Farm, a family-owned orchard on the west slope of Cayuga Lake in Upstate NY. After moving to the Fingerlakes region from the Bay Area in the 1980s, we took up root in Trumansburg and started planting trees in our yard.. As the legend goes, once we put our toes in the waters of Cayuga Lake, we've been bonded to this place ever since. Today, with the help of our daughter, Erica, we own and manage 3 orchards growing over 145 varieties of apples and pears-many of them rare heirlooms and European varieties selected especially for their cider making qualities. All of the fruit that goes into our cider is grown right here on our farm... Black Diamond Cider (est. 2014), comes from a family-owned orchard along NY's Cayuga Lake. The orchard produces over 100 varieties of apples and pears--including many rare heirlooms and european varieties especially suited for apple cider.
