“For Chicagoans Doug Doetsch and Susan Manning, the opening of their new Seminary Hill Orchard & Cidery, in Callicoon, is a homecoming: they are descended from generations of Callicoon families, and wanted to give back to the region.”
“Seminary Hill has arrived to say: hold my cider. Founded by a husband-and-wife duo with deep familial roots in the area, the multi-hyphenate property has touched down in the arrestingly cozy and bucolic town of Callicoon to provide travelers with both a place to imbibe and a roof under which to take shelter.”
“The cidery is the first of its kind constructed according to the standards of Passive House, which means it uses minimal energy for heating and cooling by taking advantage of direct sun during the winter and shade during the summer.”
