The Maple Run Tour is thrilled to be hosted by the Davies family of Farmgate Cider at their family-owned and operated cidery. Here, every element of your visit to Farmgate will be hand-crafted – from the ciders to the impressive heritage barn to the art and fine craft of the Maple Run artists. The cider barn was reconstructed on site after being painstakingly disassembled and moved from a Lanark County farm. The airy post and beam structure now houses Farmgate’s cider tasting room and cider production facilities – and is also available as an event space. It’s perfect for the large group of artists and artisans you can find at Farmgate for the Maple Run Tour.
Farmgate Cider produces bright and well-balanced ciders inspired by the British and French-style dry beverages. Cider tastings and sales will be available throughout the Maple Run Tour weekend.
