Ragged Hill

Make a day-trip out to West Brookfield to stroll through Ragged Hill’s orchards—and then straight to its tasting room for some flights, full pours and bottles to-go. As small batch and artisanal as it gets, Ragged Hill’s ciders are truly special. While you may be tempted to stick with its Traditional Dry and Semi-Dry brews, we encourage you to branch out and indulge in a bottle of its Honeycrisp (a semi-sweet libation with whispers of caramel and, you guessed it, honey) or its renowned, award-winning Rasé (a raspberry rosé cider made with a blend of Empire, Baldwin and Cortland apples). While Ragged Hill mostly sells its craft ciders onsite at its tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays from 12—5pm, at farmers markets or in stores throughout Central and Western Mass, there are a couple of Whole Foods in the Greater Boston area that carry them.
