Louisburg Cider Mill, Inc.

What started as a dream for Emmett O’Rear in 1977 of bringing him, his wife, Mary, and their daughters home to start a family business of pressing apples into cider has now turned into a 3rd generation family-owned operation. We make apple cider and produce nine flavors of our small batch Lost Trail craft soda, sparkling ciders, and of course, our apple cider donuts. Although our love for apples could not stop at producing sweet cider, in the last year, we have branched out and started making hard cider! You might see our apple cider in your local grocer during the fall months. This is when you can visit our facility and observe our apple press in action as we press 50+ tons of apples daily, the same barn that started pressing apples over 45 years ago. You can shop at our Country Store, where you can purchase all of our products, from the fresh pressed cider to the Honeycrisp BBQ Sauce made with our apple cider, open year-round. Not only do we produce beverages and have a retail store, but we also have a Family Farm that is open from mid-September through October that hosts a 10-acre pumpkin patch and corn maze, wagon rides, and tons of family-friendly activities. Our mission is to create wholesome products and experiences that unite families and add richness to life. It is our sincere hope that we have the opportunity to fulfill our mission with you and your extended family.
