Bear Swamp Orchard & Cidery

Bear Swamp Orchard, located in Ashfield, MA, was a beloved orchard and cider producer that recently closed its doors after 17 successful seasons. The decision to cease operations was driven by the challenges of maintaining the orchard as a commercial venture, as the owners faced limitations due to age, changing circumstances, and the difficulty in finding reliable help.

Despite the closure, Bear Swamp Orchard leaves behind a rich legacy of providing a part-time economic boost to the community and creating cherished memories for visitors who returned year after year to pick apples and enjoy the orchard's offerings. While the future availability of their brandy remains uncertain, the orchard's impact on the local community and the experiences shared with countless families will be remembered fondly.
