One of the great things about living here in the Hanover/Dartmouth College region is that as the seasons change, interesting seasonal foods and beverages appear for our enjoyment. This time of year I always look forward to getting a gallon of cider made by the Patch family at Walhowden Farm in Lebanon Barbara.patch@myfairpoint.net. They are located at 33 Walhowden Way in Lebanon, NH. A trip to their beautiful farm in the fall is a great day out. I like their cider best of the local producers because they do not pasteurize it – they use ultraviolet light instead to kill any bacteria. That leaves the cider with its natural tangy and clean taste; pasteurized cider tends to get a bit syrupy and loses some of the biting taste I appreciate. Another great beverage that is produced here from local apples is hard cider. The best known producer in the area is Farnum Hill Cider in Lebanon, NH by the Lebanon Municipal Airport. They produce a half dozen or so hard ciders. I have sampled them all over the years and can attest to the great flavors. You can find locally produced cider and hard cider at most local general stores this time of year and always at the Hanover and Lebanon Coops.
