Live Music at The Cider Farm Tasting Room with Markus J

Live music is played in the Greenhouse, a semi-outdoors area with roll-up doors.

Markus J

Markus J exudes a high-energy spirit, creating a fun atmosphere that will light up any room and entertain audiences of all ages.  Making each song his own, Mark plays an upbeat mix of songs, covering everything from country, folk, and pop to contemporary Christian and classic rock ‘n roll.

Growing up in south central Wisconsin, Mark was a self-taught guitar player and a “singing-to-the-steering wheel” kind of guy.  Now, as a seasoned, talented musician, he has a history of music behind him, including jammin’ with the local “old guy” bands, playing with a contemporary praise band, leading youth sing-alongs, and playing at weddings and funerals.  Five years ago, Mark joined friends, Marcia and Sean Reimer, to create the acoustic trio “Moxie,” a talented, eclectic, full-energy band, with each of them taking turns as lead vocalist while adding seamless harmonies.  Deciding it was also the right time to launch his solo career, Mark is now sharing his gift of music and entertainment at restaurants, breweries, wineries and other venues around Wisconsin.

The Cider Farm

The Cider Farm offers ciders made with organic, true cider apples grown near Mineral Point, Wisconsin. The ciders pair beautifully with the made from ‘scratch’ small plates featuring locally and organically grown ingredients.

The Cider Farm has been pleased to have been part of Dane County’s efforts to reduce the impact of the pandemic and are now pleased to see that vaccinations have allowed a return to somewhat normal functioning.  As of June 2, The Cider Farm will no longer require face masks inside the restaurant. Masks are welcomed and social distancing is still encouraged. Our sanitation polices held throughout the pandemic will remain in place indefinitely.

We encourage everyone to receive the vaccine so that all can feel comfortable in going out in public.  The greenhouse and patio offer open-air dining. Our interior space also features roll up garage doors for a more open environment.  We hope these attributes will add to your comfort level when visiting The Cider Farm.
