Award Winning Orchard and Cidery Business on 50 acres in Trumansburg NY

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. Encompassing approximately 50 acres, this remarkable turn-key property offers not only a thriving agricultural business, but a rich piece of Finger Lakes history and culture. 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. All ciders are produced entirely from fruit grown on-site, creating a true estate orchard-to-glass operation. The orchards feature more than 100 apple varieties, including sought-after cider and dessert apples such as Snapdragon, Ruby Frost, GoldRush, Honeycrisp, Crimson Crisp, and over 60 American heirloom and heritage cider varieties prized for their tannin structure and exceptional flavor profiles. In addition to apples, the property also produces cherries, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, black currants, kiwi berries, and blueberries, opening the door for expanded production opportunities including jams, jellies, fruit wines, specialty beverages, and additional value-added products. 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. This is a 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, and 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. The property carries a unique historical connection to the Finger Lakes region through the iconic Black Diamond name, inspired by the historic Black Diamond Express rail line that once passed through the area. Portions of the former railroad bed still traverse the property today, tying directly into the nearby Black Diamond Trail, a beloved hiking and biking corridor stretching from Cass Park in Ithaca to Taughannock Falls State Park near Trumansburg. Additional features include underground electric service to all buildings, public water availability, and an exceptionally scenic setting within one of New York’s most desirable agritourism and wine destinations. Whether you are an experienced orchardist, craft beverage entrepreneur, agritourism visionary, or investor seeking a truly unique Finger Lakes legacy property, Black Diamond Farm & Cidery represents an extraordinary opportunity with limitless potential for future growth and expansion.
