Mark and Katy Hiza know how to go with the flow.

This year’s frost on May 10 hit their peach and apple orchards hard, wiping out no less than 95% of this fall’s fruit crops. But that hasn’t kept them down. They’re at market this summer with a taste of last year’s harvest: hard cider.

Last winter, Mark and Katy set about fermenting and bottling their regular apple cider to help supplement this year’s fresh fruit crops. Although it’s certainly disappointing that the cider is their only “crop” this season, they sure are pleased with how popular their inaugural batch has been. You can be sure they’ll make it again.

But you better be sure to find them at market soon, because it’s selling fast.
