Cider AND MEAD! Yes, that’s right: Starrlight Mead and Cider is the oldest meadery in North Carolina, established in 2010. Three years ago, they purchased the cider company next door to them in Pittsboro at The Plant and started making cider alongside their extensive mead collection. They are happy to help you find your new beverage and have introduced so many folks to the creative possibilities of mead.

Come see them at the Bloomtime Ciderfest this Saturday, March 14. Tickets are going fast. See link in bio.

Hello Charlotte!! If you’ve missed Jay since the Red Clay tasting room on Clanton Road closed last summer, come on over to Moore County next Saturday for the Bloomtime Ciderfest at James Creek Cider House and Orchards.

Jay will be here pouring samples and selling cans of Red Clay cider. I don’t know whether he’ll have any of those crazy-popular fruit crumble ciders, but I’d bet he’ll have semi-dry Queen City Common and semi-sweet The South End and maybe even some Cherry Bobbin’ Trolls or other specialty fruit ciders. So come say, “hello” to Red Clay Ciderworks and raise a glass to the new season.

The peach trees are starting to bloom and Saturday looks to be a beautiful day with abundant sunshine. See link in bio to get tickets from the James Creek Cider House
website or Eventbrite. Cheers!

Introducing your hosts for the Bloomtime Ciderfest: James Creek Cider House sits adjacent to 18 acres of orchards growing southern heirloom and cider apples, two dozen varieties of southern peaches (yellow, white and donut), pears, persimmons, blueberries and muscadines, all of which are used for fresh eating and cider making.

James Creek Cider House crafts premium ciders from the southern heirloom and cider apples grown in their orchards, since 2009, using traditional, low intervention methods with intention and care, blending, not correcting, to achieve its signature blends, each reflecting a distinctive harvest.

JCCH has won several awards, including gold medals from CiderCraft, NC Wine, Good Food, GLINTCAP, and was named one of the 10 Best Cideries in the US in 2024 and 2025 by USA Today.

James Creek also produces Stargazer Cider using apples, and sometimes other fruits, produce and botanicals, grown on their farm or sourced regionally from other family farms.

The James Creek team will give tours of the orchards and talk about the southern heirloom apple varieties that inspired their cider adventure and are the foundation of all their cidermaking.
