001: Field Maloney | West County Cider Colrain MA, USA

Field Maloney of West County Cider Field Maloney of West County Cider Terry, Judith and Field Maloney – American Cider Pioneers

West County Cider, of Colrain Massachusetts was one of the very first producers of cider post prohibition in the US, starting back in 1984.

Terry Maloney made the cider on the side while continuing to work as head of the local hospital's ER.

Terry Maloney

He and wife Judith worked tirelessly selling their notable ciders and were founders of a yearly event in November called CiderDays one of the first cider fests in the US (1994-2019). In 2020, CiderDays felt the weight of the pandemic and muddled leadership that pressed the organizing Committee to dissolved.

Before West County became named a cidery

It was a long road for the family, even with write ups in the New York Times and Ebony magazine touting their ciders. Just as cider was beginning its long awaited comeback, tragedy struck the family in 2010. Terry died when a valve released on a tank of gas throwing him back into a nearby wall. Field who had helped plant apple trees with his dad as a kid, stepped up to the plate and is now full-on as cidermaker at this renown orchard. Listen as he speaks with Cider Chat about the cider revival in the US, working with Redfield apples, and the bountiful future of West County Cider.
