(EDIT: The sale we announced for 12/21/22 and 12/22/22 had to be canceled because of a mechanical breakdown we couldn’t solve in the timeframe we had.)

We’re popping out of internet hibernation to talk about CIDER.

We got our raw cider license last month! We bought this old OESCO rack-and-cloth cider press about twelve years ago, when our orchard was just baby trees packed into our nursery. We finally had the conditions (volume of apples, infrastructure, time) to set it up this year and got inspected, and we passed! Yessssss.

If you like CIDER – raw, organic, bulk, bring-your-own-vessel cider – mark your calendar for December 21 and 22, 2022 We’ll be pressing cider on the 21st and hosting a little solstice cider distribution those 2 evenings, 4-6pm. We’ll have some gallon plastic jugs and 1/2 gallon Ball jars for sale or deposit, but bring your 5 gallon buckets, your clean empty milk jugs, whatever you’ve got! You can grab a few quarts for a holiday treat or stock up multiple gallons for the freezer, fermentation projects, etc…your vessel capacity (and our cider press’s capacity) is the limit. In addition to cider, we’ll have bulk apples, carrots, leeks, rutabaga, beets, cabbage, winter squash, and possibly a few dozen eggs. Here’s a little price list for anyone living within striking distance:

Bulk discounts for 25lb+ on most veggies

Be well nourished, my dear eaters!

We’re mostly doing announcements on Facebook and Instagram these days, but if you don’t use those forms of media, and you liked reading this post let us know that this is useful to you!
