Crafted in Canada, inspired by adventure, savoured by those who seek the authentic.
North Folk began with family road trips through Canada’s fruit country, retracing the routes Mark’s grandparents once travelled from coast to coast, through the Rockies, along coastlines, across countryside and open fields, and past sunlit rows of apple trees.
Along the way, we discovered more than a landscape. We discovered the stories it held: generations of growers, changing seasons, and the simple pleasure of an apple picked straight from the tree.
Something took root.
Today, that journey is North Folk Social & Cidery.
We craft artisanal ciders and thoughtful sips inspired by the Northern landscape we call home. We work with cold-hardy apples that thrive in our climate and embrace sustainable practices wherever we can, creating products that honour both the land and the people who tend it.
From our craft ciders and sipping sparklers, we believe in the goodness of simple ingredients and the craft of doing them justice. Behind every pour is time, patience, hard work, and a process that rewards care at every step.
North Folk is a celebration of place, tradition, and the stories that connect us - from one generation to the next, and from orchard to glass.
Rooted in story. Inspired by the North. Made to be shared.

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.
