Crafted in Canada, inspired by adventure, savoured by those who seek the authentic.
It began with summer road trips through Canada’s fruit country - endless orchards, sunlit rows, and a quiet connection to the land. Discovering the stories hidden in every grove.
Simple joys of apples picked straight from the tree grew into an amazing adventure that carries that tradition forward.
That journey has taken root, and today it's North Folk Social & Cidery.
We craft artisanal ciders and sips rooted in our Northern landscape, using sustainable practices and cold-hardy apples that thrive in our climate. Every pour reflects a balance of care, place, and purpose.
From “The Good Apple” apple cider vinegar to our craft ciders and sipping sparklers, what we make is simple, honest, and meant to be shared. Rooted in story, tradition, and the community we proudly call home.

Our ciders blend time-honoured traditional techniques with the purity of Canadian-grown fruit. From crisp English-style dry ciders to naturally sweet, effervescent French keeved ciders, each bottle is a testament to craftsmanship and quality.

We don’t cut corners with concentrate, added sugars, or artificial flavoring. Just clean, honest cider made for people who care about what’s in their glass.
Where are you located?
North Folk is nestled at the Gateway to the Rockies, just thirty minutes from South Calgary near Kananaskis Country and scenic Highway 40. We are nestled in the countryside and our roads are paved the whole way.
What is a Sipping Sparkler?
A combination of all-natural ingredients taken from recipes dating back hundreds of years. Its well-known health benefits and hydrating properties made it a popular thirst quencher in the 19th century, where it became a mainstay with hardworking settlers and harvest farmers.
Our Sipping Sparklers are not fermented and instead use a by-product of cider fermentation - apple cider vinegar. This results in zero alcohol content and zero caffeine. While offering good gut health, they also have electrolytes such as potassium and calcium. Our Sipping Sparklers are appealing because they are a ready to drink beverage that is perfectly balanced, refreshing, and tastes like farm-fresh fruit.
Open to the Public?
North Folk is a private estate. At this time, we accept visitors by reservation only. We look forward to hearing from you - see you at the cidery!

Do you use sulfites?
Yes — we do use a small amount of sulfites in our cider. Sulfites are naturally occurring compounds found in many foods (and even in the human body), and they’re commonly used in winemaking and cidermaking.
We use sulfites to:
- Gently halt fermentation at the perfect moment
- Prevent spoilage, oxidation, and unwanted bacteria
The amount we use is minimal and well within accepted safety limits. Sulfites are rarely detectable in taste and safe for the vast majority of people. Only a small percentage of individuals are sensitive or allergic to sulfites, and for them, all packaged ciders (like wines) are required to carry a “contains sulfites” label.
We believe in making great cider with transparency and care — and sulfites are part of how we ensure quality without compromising the natural integrity of our product.
