Cider Business: Previously known as Distillery Lane Ciderworks, this first licensed cidery in Maryland enjoyed success producing craft ciders from its own apple orchards. The business was known for producing a variety of hard ciders, including varieties grown for George Washington's original cider recipe, which was sold to Mount Vernon. The cidery had a winery license for retail sales and distribution, including to multiple states (MD, VA, DC), and a food processing license for cider production. Although the business ceased operations in 2024, infrastructure and a loyal customer base remain. Trademarks (including "Distillery Lane Ciderworks" and "Celebration Cider”), along with the business website and social media accounts, are included with the sale of the property.
