Bests Fruit Farm has the BEST apple cider around! It's sold at the Best's stand across from the NE branch of the Warren County library on rt 46 and at Donaldsons (not sure it it is sold anywhere else)....
The ABSOLUTE best Cider is from Apgar's, in Harmony,NJ . They do not pasteurize their Cider, which basically cooks the cider, giving it the taste of a cooked apple. They use Ultraviolet light to kill any Bactria present, allowing the apples to retain the taste of a raw apple.the difference is amazing, IT"S FREAKING AWESOME!! Don't know the exact address, but it's on the far end, near Rt 519, of Harmony Brass Castle Rd. in Harmony.
Bests' cider is UV pasteurized.
Race's Farm in Blairstown is the only apple cider that goes from press to bottle.

Best's has great cider..I've been told they use 12 different kinds of apples, don't know if it's true or not, but delicious no matter how many types of apples they use
Best is great & local to H'town, Mellicks orchard in Oldwick is also really really good. They sell at Ort farms in Long Valley.
Best's is currently all out of their apple cider. They will have more available tomorrow at 9am. $6.75 for a gallon.
Best's is back in stock after an early morning in the Cider Press, they posted on their Facebook they will be open today and Wednesday 9-6 and then Thanksgiving Day 9am-noon. I know I will be stopping to get some! Happy Thanksgiving :-)
If ever down in the central NJ area of Monmouth County swing by Battleview Orchards in Freehold for their apple cider and apple cider donuts. IMO, could very well be the best of each in the state!
Shhhhhhhh..... after a side by side Thanksgiving dinner table comparison yesterday Battleview Orchards apple cider got the best taste vote over Best's cider. Sorry guys don't shoot the messenger.
