Cider Saturday 2026
Ciderday 2026
We will be hosting our annual Ciderday event on the first Saturday in November,
Saturday, November 7th
Our apples this year come from Bright Ranch Farms in Hendersonville, NC and will be a mix of Rome, Granny Smith, Fuji, Gold Rush and Arkansas Black varieties.
We expect the juce to have huge depth of flavor and be excellent either fresh or fermented into hard cider!
We will start crushing about 8:30am on that Saturday. We will be utilizing our 2-ton crusher and our two (2) 120 liter bladder presses which should make the process go pretty fast. There will be 8 to 10 crates of 20 bushels each to process that day.
Juice is availabe for pre-ordering now through 11/1 and we will reserve some for sale on the 7th, but order not to make sure you can enjoy this excellent blend of flavors!
Plan to bring your own containers for transport and save money if you can, but we will have containers available to purchase.
At the event, we will have fresh juice,
bags of apples and gallon jugs of cider.
We'll have a sanitizing station set-up for customers to sanitize their containers.
FREE ADDITIVES - Campden and Pectic Enzyme - will be available with the purchase of juice on Ciderday.
If you are ordering juice for the first time, it is best to plan on making about a gallon more cider than will fill your secondary fermenter. This way you won't have to worry about the head space in your secondary. Apples and apple juice tend to oxidize quickly, illustrated by a browning of the fruit and/or browning of the juice; therefore, maintaining FULL carboys in the final stage is highly recommended.
We will start dispensing of the cider around 10:30.
The more help we get, the smoother things will go.
