Hogans Cider Mill
Sweet and Hard Cider, local artists, gifts & native produce
Category: Burlington Historic Site near Litchfield Hills, Connecticut
Description of this Litchfield Hills area Attraction: Right in the heart of Connecticut’s beautiful rolling hills, you’ll find Hogan’s Cider Mill, which has been making cider since 1912. The mill still produces cider in the same classic method as generations before, evoking fond memories from visitors of all ages. Local gifts and crafts compliment mother nature's gifts of tomatoes, strawberries, corn and summer treats. Soon autumn’s bounties including pumpkins, apples, honey, and even hard cider take center stage. All are displayed in the original barn that houses the old press. Parents, grandparents, and great grandparents bring youngsters to the mill and share a glimpse of how things were when they were children. New England connoisseurs of cider taste the hot mulled samples and know they have found perfection. Hard cider was once a staple of Colonial diets and is produced to suit a variety of tastes. In the 1750’s the average per capita consumption of hard cider per year in New England was 50 gallons! It was considered very healthful, and that belief is still popular among homeopathic practitioners with the use of apple cider vinegar, also produced on the farm. Popular for everything from weight loss to arthritis, not to mention thinning hair and stomach disorders, apple cider vinegar is just one more useful product produced from pressed apples.
Located in the Northern Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, Hogans Cider Mill captures the imagination, revealing Connecticut as generations have enjoyed before us. In Burlington right on Route 4 it is an unforgettable stop on anyone’s fall pilgrimage. (860-675-7320)
