The farm was started in 2008 by Silas Bleakley. They grow primarily peaches and apples, though they also grow asparagus, plums, apricots, as well as raise a small number of chickens, sheep, and pigs. They strive to create a closed-loop system on the farm. For example, the unsaleable fruit and produce is fed to the animals, which in turn create manure for them to compost and then reapply to the land to supply nutrients back to the plants.The cidery began in 2012 as a project to allow them to use their own fruit to create a premium product. Rack & Cloth only press fruit once a year in the fall and typically ferment and age the cider for at least a year before its release. The ethos that guides them is to start with good fruit and stay out of the way. Most of the ciders are fermented and aged in oak on lees. It is unfiltered and unfined, dry and complex cider.
