Yes! The Cidery and The Orchard are both kid friendly. The Cidery has some small play equipment as well as ample space to run around, as it is an entirely outdoor facility. We also always have non-alcoholic cider available as well!

We do allow large groups. Currently, groups up to 8 can reserve a fire pit or picnic table, and groups up to 15 can reserve a private party that includes picnic tables and a fire pit. Reservations can be made here
Any groups larger than 15 should call Doc Waters Cidery at (301) 972-1814 to make a reservation, depending on our availability.
All the tables are sat on a first come basis, so we cannot guarantee two tables next to one another, but will make every effort to accommodate.

The Orchard at Doc Waters Cidery is an Integrated Pest Management Farm. Whenever possible, we treat with natural methods, such as pruning, irrigation, traps, horticultural oils, and predatory bugs. We farm carefully to increase yield and quality and to be diligent stewards of the land for our community. However, we are not considered organic!
