Standardized Operating Procedure of Purchase

Black Diamond Cidery is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire an established, award-winning orchard and cider business in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region, located between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes just north of the Village of Trumansburg. Known as Black Diamond Farm & Cider, this renowned family-owned operation has spent more than three decades building a nationally recognized brand celebrated for rare heirloom apples and exceptional craft cider blends. With dozens of regional and national awards and medals earned over the years, the cidery has developed a loyal customer base, established vendor relationships, and an outstanding reputation throughout the craft beverage industry. Included in the sale is the complete turn-key operation with all necessary equipment, existing inventory, branding rights, licensing, website assets, established vendor and distributor contacts, proprietary recipes developed over decades, farmers’ market presence, and an established CSA customer base. Rare opportunity for a buyer to step directly into a fully-functioning and efficiently operated business with substantial goodwill and infrastructure already in place. The property features a small tasting room complete with taps and refrigeration, multiple outbuildings, several refrigerated storage areas, a belt press and pasteurization equipment for custom cider production & over 2,800 square feet of residential living space with gorgeous views. Significant investments have been made to improve operational efficiency, including two net-metered solar panel arrays designed to offset refrigeration and operational costs, as well as mini-split heat-pump systems installed throughout the residential and commercial buildings. Two primary high-density orchard blocks totaling approximately 10.6 acres are fully enclosed with deer fencing to protect the established fruit plantings. Additional open acreage north of the first orchard block and east of the second offers tremendous expansion potential for future orchard development, agritourism ventures, event spaces, glamping accommodations, Harvest Hosts opportunities, outdoor recreation, or additional hospitality-based income streams.
