Our Garden Club began our year with a road trip to the James Creek Cider House in Cameron. James Creek makes premium, harvest-based ciders from Southern heirloom, and cider apple varieties grown in their orchards here in Moore County. This is a type of horticulture that we haven’t studied before and our hostess, Anne Marie Thornton, gave us a strong grounding in first the history of James Creek, as well as cider making, and sourcing for their apple orchards. We also got to sample the product!
