NEW RELEASE! Last year we made a barrel each of single varietal Kingston Black and Porter’s Perfection cider. Pressed from certified organic apples grown here on our farm and fermented with wild yeast in neutral oak barrels. They are both bittersharp varieties, with acid and tannin contributing towards their structure. Bottled still, unadorned with bubbles, they are examples of how great apples can become a complex, food-friendly beverage. The labels feature work from a guest artist! We are sending these out to our cider club today. The remaining bottles will go up on our website and to the Ithaca Farmer’s Market over the weekend.

Sneak peak of our spring cider club release- with the first ciders from the 2025 harvest year.

Each season we send a box of cider out to cider club members across the country. And while it’s still spring by the calendar, here in the Finger lakes it feels more like summer by the weather. Our first shipment of the year is a little late because the timing of the release is determined by when the ciders are ready. This past winter was long and cold and the wild yeasts fermented slowly in our uninsulated cider barn. Wild yeasts are rarely on schedule and rarely on time.

Hopefully it was worth the wait. The ‘25 Albee Hill is gorgeous and we made a cider kin for the first time. We also have a guest artist for some of the labels.

Intrigued? The club is shipping out next Tuesday and if you sign up over the weekend you can still get in on the fun. We ship to 36 states via UPS. Local peeps have multiple pick up options in Danby, T-burg, Ithaca and Van Etten.

Thank you for supporting this organic cider project!

Last few nights if May-
Jazzy feeling wild
Crazy extended bloom in the Dabinett

Meet Taylor, our summer farm intern, coming to us by way of Cornell University’s Lund Fellowship for sustainable agriculture. Bravo Taylor for putting herself in a new and not necessarily comfortable setting, getting dirty, working hard and getting an up-close view of the day to day workings of a small farm.
Here’s Taylor working up a sweat planting these gorgeous Yarlington Mill trees grown by We are lucky to live and work in the Finger Lakes region amongst such a vibrant and talented community of farmers. So grateful.

Some fruitlets are being let go…some are stuck on and growing. The anticipation is palpable around here as the crop potential reveals itself over the next few weeks.

This fun little bottle is headed your way —Maine .wines —Massachusetts
——New York and —Michigan

Its a delicious combination of Cab Franc aromatics in a light bodied, juicy, spritzy, cider. We grabbed the skins right off Julia and Alex’s press (still warm) and took them home and dumped them in a tank of fresh pressed apple juice. Only wild yeast in this coferment. We punched down the skins every day and bottled before the fermentation finished to capture a spritz.

We loved collaborating with and are grateful to be able to use their organically grown (not yet certified) grape skins as well as apples from our neighbors at Hemlock Grove (certified organic for over 20 years) and Stony Ridge (not organic). What a gift that grapes and apples grow on this patch of good earth and that humans developed a practice of fermentation and libation and that we get to make yummy ciders for you to drink.

SOLD out here at the farm. We will have the last 2 cases at this weekend. Otherwise, ask for it at your favorite wine shop!

Leila grafting Golden Russet over to Dabinett. These trees are 8 years old on P18 and have never born a single fruit. Is it the rootstock? Trees on B118 planted in the same year have been bearing for at least 4 years now. Or is it because Golden Russet is a vigorous, sprawling variety? Or because it blooms very early and this location is frost prone? Dabinett is diminutive, more annual bearing than most bittersweets and while its not the latest bloomer in our orchard, it is much later than GR. We will see in 3 years or so if this was the right move.
I learned how to top graft mature apple trees from James in 1998. We grafted Vista Bella over to Fuji. How many people reading this know what Vistabella is?
Top grafting is a way to preserve the root system and stored carbohydrates of a mature tree, assets which take decades to create, while addressing the fact that you planted something you shouldn’t have. This is a remarkable kind of grace in an unforgiving world. There are all kinds of mistakes I wish I could “top graft”. Thank you trees, for trying again with me.

Since Jamez died, I've come back to his Newfield site twice. Today, for king blossom (and to spray). Last week for cherry blossom alongside apple pink (and to spray).

Friend of my friend, mentor to my mentor, elder to us both. I'm learning to think of life as the shared tissue of those who came before. I see James' self everywhere here. I miss my friend who left all these trees in such good stead.

Please come celebrate his wild life
