CIDER MADE THE HARD WAY
Here at Black Apple Crossing, we bring you hard cider that’s as natural as the Ozark Mountains that surround us. No preservatives, no gluten, no sulfites. Just fresh-pressed apples and cider crafters who take their jobs way too seriously.
Our ciders
We make all our ciders right here in Northwest Arkansas. Whether you have a sweet tooth or want a drier, more traditional cider, Black Apple has something for every palate. Don’t see your favorite?

“Was recently over in Arkansas visiting from the UK and my husband took me here after we had been swimming. Reminded me of a family pub like we have here in the UK but a bit more hipster (not that thats a bad thing). It’s nice to see Americans embracing Cider.”
