We currently have a position for a Harvest Cellarhand available. What does a "harvest cellarhand" do you ask? Primarily - alot of cleaning. Cleaning tanks, cleaning the press, cleaning the pump, cleaning the floors, cleaning small wine making tools....then...

We are very excited to announce tickets for our much-awaited Long Table Dinner Series.    With only 40 tickets available for each dinner (and many of those already purchased by Cider Club members) don't delay on getting tickets to these special nights....

2018 sees the 5-year mark for our little dream, this cidery. "5 years" seemed like an insurmountable goal when we started, but now suddenly, five orchard seasons and 70-something cider batches later here we are. It's a big year for us. For one, we were...

We know, we know - real Spring doesn't arrive until March 20th.  But seeing as Winter is throwing her last hurrah, and then one more...and then - more snow???  - we wanted to throw something back. Something light, something fruity, something delicious - to...

One of the biggest jobs for a small operation like ours is bottling. We have a pretty great setup for a small operation, but unless we were to get really big (we won't) there are no automated equipment options to make the process faster.  So all winter,...

Even though apples are still a few weeks away, plums are right around the corner.  Some of you may remember a small experimental cider we put out last season in which we co-fermented Italian plums, vanilla pods, and our apples.  The resulting Vanilla Plum...

An Interview With Jo Dixon: We asked Jo a few questions to gain a peek into her thoughts on art, her passion for community, and what she hopes for Stumble Upon a Story. Today I am honoured to introduce to you a guest blogger - our dear employee and friend, Jo Dixon,...

Earlier this month we had our second Wassail. This centuries-old cider tradition is such a fun way to welcome friends to the orchard and together celebrate the crop that was last season while humbly asking the trees for another bountiful crop. A wassail traditionally...

With storybook snowflakes blanketing the orchard, we exhale. The record-breaking crop of 2016 is complete.  The only apples left are the ones that were left behind  - not enough color, some unmarketable blemish, under or over sized. These are gifts to the birds and...
