I asked  a couple of them if I could get hold of some before they 
pasturized it and  was told that it is against the law (at least in 
Maryland) to sell it that  way.  


The stuff I get in North Carolina isn't pasteurized. Of course, I get  it 
straight from the orchard.AND, while I'd have to check this, I believe you  can 
get unpasteurized milk from the farmer. You may have to tell him it's to  feed 
dogs or pigs, but you can get it. Of course, I live here in old backwards  
South Carolina too. <G>
 
Even pasteurized cider can usually be hardened, just open it and let the  air 
(and the wild yeasty beasties) in. They can't outlaw the actions of wild  
yeasts...

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will  annoy 
enough people to make it worth the effort.
