About
A place that makes authentic cider people haven’t had before. A place that makes everyone feel welcome and safe as soon as they step in the door. A place that’s a living love letter to Dartmouth. That’s what came into view when we first pictured what we wanted Lake City Cider to be.
And that’s exactly what we’ve created. With an honest, transparent approach to making awesome ciders, we connect our guests with local suppliers that make our flavours possible—like crisp apples from Stirling Farms and wild blueberries from Oxford, NS. We don’t do what’s easy or expected. We do what feels right, and what works for our fans, friends, and extended Dartmouth family.
