The cider mill was added to the farm in 1996. Our blend of ripe apples is slow pressed to create a fine apple cider that can be enjoyed either hot or cold.

Our cider making process:

1-Variety of cider apples getting brushed and rinsed prior to grinding.

 

2-Trimmed and washed apples riding up the elevator before dropping into the grinder.

 

3-Ground apples being pumped into the racking cloth.

 

4-Completed rack prior to pressing.

 

5-Rack being squeezed.

 

6-Overview of pressing operation.

 

7-Filling jugs with finished Apple Cider!

After all the juice is pressed out of the cloths, all that is left is damp pulp.
The pulp or pumice, is taken by a local farmer who feeds it to his cows. It is their favorite snack!
