About Ireland Cider Co.: A family run business, Ireland Cider Co. is the product of a childhood on the South Coast of New South Wales that included a passion for creating music and sharing a crisp cold drink. It was from this sense of community and love of the occasion that Ireland Cider Co. was born.
The apples are grown in Orange, New South Wales, on the slopes of Mount Canobolas. This alpine climate provides the ultimate location in the country for growing these varieties. The apples are grown sustainably with the aim of working with the natural environment, rather than against it. Thousands of native and European trees have been planted to create a food source, refuge, and corridor for native birds and animals. As a result there are habitats for echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, and there are even a few apple trees for the white cockatoos.
