Lindsey Butler, left, appeared in an article in August 2010's Bold Life Magazine talking about apple cider.  David and Lindsey have perfected the art of cider making so stop in for a cup today or purchase a gallon or two to take with you. Sky Top Orchard produces a fresh, non-pasteurized cider from a blend of ten different apple varieties.  It is offered fresh or frozen.
