For over eight decades, the monks of St. Mary's Abbey have cultivated their orchard on a hillside, south of the monastery. The variety of apple and pear trees provide fruit that is a welcome addition to the monks' table. For years, the monks have enjoyed sweet cider made from the apples. After last year's success, Brother Paul Diveny and his fellow monks are pleased to bring you this second annual batch of Abbey Orchard Hard Cider. All proceeds from this crisp, semi-sweet, and full-flavored hard cider will support the mission and ministry of St. Mary's Abbey.
