Heartwood Ciders opening in May

Heartwood Ciders in Solon Township is entering the final phase before a planned soft and grand opening in May.

The new cidery, located off M-72 on Lautner Road, is a family- run operation focused on purity, flavor and sustainability, according to David and Rachel Barnard.

“There’s a lot of excitement and a lot of grueling months piling up, and its coming to an end,” David said. “It’ll be unimaginable (to pour that first glass). We started thinking about this in 2021, so it’ll be an insane feeling, that’s for sure.”
