It's Farmers' Market Season! We are running 1-5pm every Friday from May 27th through October 14th outside the Todd Hill store. We have a wonderful group of vendors this year selling everything from fruit, vegetables, meat and eggs, to cider, meads and spirits. I am looking forward to all the great vendors we will have participating in our Market this year. Be sure to check them all out, and read about what each vendor has to say about their business!

Merchant's Daughter Cider, Purdys, NY

Merchant's Daughter is a small Hudson Valley cider producer that sources heirloom apples from local HV Family owned orchards and applies a winemaker approach to create award-winning ciders that have a subtle balance, pair stunningly well with food, and are immensely drinkable. Our brand is rooted in the historic Purdys, NY neighborhood general store that was passed down from generation to generation via the daughters. These hard-working women inspire us today as we honor their legacy and share our ciders with locavores, health-conscious consumers and the growing regional cider scene.
Merchant's Daughter hard cider is available in three varieties: Dry, Semi-Dry, and Clara's Reserve across multiple package formats (750ml, 12oz. Bottle 4pks and sixtel kegs). The taste-profile is sophisticated, apple-forward, with a bright, clean finish. Consumers compared our ciders to Prosecco and champagne, but they are still very approachable and appeal to a broad base of consumers.
We've earned media in Westchester, Hudson Valley and Cider Craft Magazines and received awards across our line in the HV Wine & Food, Great American Cider and New York international Cider Competitions.
With Regional Hard Cider sales growing double digits, we believe there is room in the category for multiple brands with distinct offerings. The growth is just beginning for this category and we would love to partner with you.
