289: The Road Less Traveled at Big Hill Ciderworks | PA

The Makers at Big Hill Ciderworks

Troy Lehman and Ben Kishbaugh are long time friends who originally met while working in the automotive industry. Years later they team up on a very new career path as cidermakers! Both men were not originally orchardist, but that didn't stop them from purchasing farms about a 1/2 mile apart (as the crow flies). Troy purchased his farm in 2010 and Ben's family moved into their farm/orchard in 2013.

Falling for Cider at Big Hill

Originally Troy and Ben had gotten into cider with the hope that the cider market was going to continue to grow and that it was a sure fire slam dunk. They then found out you have to be in this business for the long run verses short term. "Cider is the road less traveled", says Troy, "And that is the one I usually take."
