Another big milestone that quietly happened this month is that Bishop's Cellar is now carrying two of our c***rs!

That's right, you can now order Feral and Ginger online or pickup a bottle at their store downtown Halifax.

Feral is pretty special. It's the last of our 2024 vintage. It's wild apples, spontaneously fermented, unfiltered and oh- so quenching. If you wanna try an aged natural c***r pickup a bottle while they last!

Ginger, one of this year's best sellers. Wild apples+ real local ginger. That's it ! Those that like it, like it a lot :)

Cape Breton summers
Time for a spur of the moment road trip to explore some place new
Time for impossibly big ice creams, campsites with ocean sounds and a late night at the drive-in.

And a c***r on a perfect beach while the kids have reached the flow state of summer beach bliss ✌️

Add on a farmers weekend and you have a perfect weekend if you ask me. Come see us! We'll be at tomorrow (Saturdays) from 10-2 and on Sunday 11-2.

Old Friends is here ! Apple Meets Grape in this 50-50 coferment. 

Last year with all that heat it was an amazing grape year (for northern Cape Breton). And we were able to try a truly half apple half grape. The result is a lively Pet. Nat. and it's fun to drink!

We were able to pick grapes at a neighbour's small backyard-vineyard who's been growing an unidentified type of purple w**e grape for years. We crushed and let the grapes sit on their skins for 3 weeks before pressing (scroll to see the colour of juice that came out while pressing!). We then added equal parts fresh pressed apple juice and let the natural yeast do their thing. We disgorged each bottle by hand, to get rid of some of the sediment, then let the c***r finish its fermentation in the bottle for a few more months. 

Carbonation is Pet. Nat. style, meaning an additive-free way to produce a sparkling c***r. Instead of forced carbonation (using equipment to inject CO2 into the liquid) or using a secondary fermentation, (adding sugar and yeast to a dry w**e/c***r) we carefully monitor the c***r to be able to bottle it at the precise moment before it has fermented to dryness. Remaining sugar in the c***r is then converted to CO2 (and alcohol) giving a fun fizzy drink!

As always, made with 100% wild and forgotten apples picked in Margaree and Western CB.

Just off the Cabot trail ! We now have a cute little bottle shop for you to visit and fill all your c***r needs.

We plucked this hay wagon out of a field this spring (keeping on brand) and have been working to make the sweetest little c***r shop.

Located at the 18 Fordview lane, (off east margaree Rd.) on margaree.

Bringing work home. Not all bad.

An evening spent tasting, comparing, measuring and over thinking tiny differences that maybe nobody else would notice?...

More than 3/4 of our c***r is bottled. And now we're waiting for them to continue to ferment in the bottle adding some fine bubbles to our c***r, Pet. Nat. style.

Excited to get these out in the world starting at the next weekend.
