About
Situated in the Adirondack foothills in Quebec, Canada, we strive to make quality ciders with our own apples and fruits or botanicals from around our orchards. If we outsource any aromatics or botanicals, like hops or ginger for example, we buy them from our neighbors or from other farms in our community who farm organically. We also scavenge wild apples that we forage in abandoned pastures or hedgerows where no chemical pesticides are used.

Technical information
Cider
This grower-maker farms some of it themselves and buys-in others.
- Information on what they farm
- Size of their farm: 19.75 (ha)
- Total fruit trees for cider/perry: 670
- Some are dry-farmed. Some are irrigated (We hand irrigate, by bucket, our new baby cider apple trees and our new baby Perry pears. they are grafted on big semi-dwarf rootstock and standard rootstock as to eventually not need artificial irrigation.).
- Some are harvested manually (we have a little Obstraupe electric picker for deer apples and for harvesting apples when we have too much to harvest by hand. It really damages the fruits so we want to use it only in dire surcumstances to help us not loose too many fruits or for fruits we will be selling to other farms for them to make apple juice with).
- Information on what they buy in
- Everything is dry-farmed. Not irrigated
- Everything is harvested manually.
