Small, but mighty.

Troy Lehman, co-founder/owner

Troy grew up on Big Hill and spent his childhood riding bikes and "skiing" through the orchards.  In his previous life he was an auto technician, shop foreman and a service manager.  He started making cider and wine in 2002 and has tried all different techniques and varietals.  When not at the cidery, Troy is working hard on his own farm - Rex Farms Orchards - or selling his produce at Kennett Square and West Chester farmers markets.

Ben Kishbaugh, co-founder/owner

A dream of farming from childhood brought Ben back home to Central PA.  He garnered a passion for home brewing while living in Detroit and dove further into craft beer years ago, while working at Pinocchio's Beer Garden in Media, PA.  His fashion choices are questionable and he’s often found in ill-sized garments.  Outside the cidery he loves cycling, skiing, and spending time with his family. Always a night owl, if the garage lights are on you can bet he’s tinkering with something.
