Ironbound Farm is a 108-acre transitional organic farm in the New Jersey Highlands.

The farm grows vegetable crops along with the largest planting of Newark’s Harrison apple, one of America's most prized cider apples.

They use their delicious homegrown apples in hard cider, fortified cider, and hard seltzer.

You'll find delicious flavors like Pinelands Rosé (with apple, blood-red cherries, cranberries, and white pepper) and Bride + Tunnel (infused with juniper berries).

Their beverages have no added sugar, no preservatives, no added sulfites, and are made with 100% fresh-pressed local Jersey apples.

You can enjoy these refreshing beverages at Ironbound Farm & Orchard's delightful outdoor cider garden. Make your reservation today.

And they're not just about drinks...they've got a fantastic farm market. Find veggies, flowers, locally grown oats and grains, and delicious baked goods. You can also buy your own apple tree!

There is so much to love about this local farm. In addition to some of the best hard cider you’ll ever have, Ironbound Farm does so much good in its community…our community. They focus on regenerative farming practices that protect waterways, soil, air, and wildlife. They’ve made it their mission to restore the endangered New Jersey apple. (Popular in the 1700s and 1800s, it was believed to have been extinct until a lone tree was found in Livingston in 1976.) And last, but far from least, they support a diverse workforce that includes veterans, people with special needs, and chronically underemployed groups that deserve a living wage.
