Join MASH at our July Monthly Meeting featuring Ironbound Hard Cider!
Ironbound Hard Cider is a social enterprise founded by Montclair entrepreneur, Charles Rosen. Ironbound Hard Cider and its sister company, New Ark Farms, are committed to the revitalization of the Greater Newark economy by focusing on job-creation for the community’s chronically underemployed. On the 108-acre farm that they share in northern Hunterdon County (360 County Road 579, Asbury, NJ), New Ark Farms is managing the company’s heritage cider orchards using regenerative practices to graft, plant, and maintain ten thousand 18th century heritage apple trees – varieties that originated over 250 years ago in and around Newark. In the coming years, Ironbound Hard Cider will use these apples to make its own versions of heritage Newark Cider. Through these efforts, Ironbound Hard Cider aims to restore hard cider to its rightful place as New Jersey’s beverage of choice and to craft ciders that would make our Founding Fathers proud.
