Born in a barn, Blue Toad Cider honors the tradition and legacy of America’s first preferred beverage by brewing an all-natural and eminently drinkable hard cider using locally grown apples in Western New York and apples grown in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Rather than solely using European-style tart and bitter apples,
Blue Toad Hard Cider uses a cider blend of three to four different apple varieties (replete with natural seasonal variation) grown in areas near Rochester, New York and Tyro, Virginia. Their cider is different - more authentic, more drinkable, more responsibly produced, more of an experience - than the more mass-produced ciders that may use imported concentrates. This is one of our favorite spots on the 151 to unwind.

Go to Blue Toad Cidery and tell them you are staying at “Oak Ledge”. Our friend Angela is usually the one working, but all are more than happy to tell you about their history, anything about the cider making process, and of course recommendations on what is fresh and in-season
Pro Tip:
Get your drinks and make your way to the small creek that runs around the backside of the property and relax and enjoy the scenery! You might even want to put your feet in!
