Adding organically grown Cab Franc grape skins fresh off the press to organically grown Liberty apple juice to make our conferment pet nat or as Alex puts it: “wine soaked c***r” 😋🍎🍇 This being the 3rd year running, its kind of becoming a thing. Thanks Usonia !

It was good to get the apple spirits into barrels for future pommeau. I’ve got one here marked for my wake. Here’s hoping it gets to spend a good long time in the barrel!

Thank you Finger Lakes Distilling for turning our apples into the magic that is brandy!

This morning we picked Northern Spies in James’ orchard, and as I was loading bins onto the truck and rounding up pick buckets, I heard him telling me to wait and not pick until the sun had thawed the frost on the apples. Of course I already had that planned out because I was 17 or 18 when he told me. Even though James is not with us in flesh and blood, he is still very much present in my life, and the many things he taught me populate my days like way marks guiding me through this orchard world I now call my home. This is the 29th year I’ve spent the fall harvesting apples and only the 2nd doing it without him. I miss him terribly but am astonished by how present he is in my life even now. Thank you for the apples James, thank you for the trees.

Good to get settled juice racked to barrels to make room for….more juice! Try to imagine how good it smells in here. In the thick of harvest but with the end in sight.

What a day to be picking on Albee Hill. Just a bunch of peasants, really.

Whew. Hug your harvest friends, folks. Or better yet bring them hot soup. This is hard work and I’m ashamed to say I have spent much of my life justifying it by glorifying masochism. I’m sorry to the people that have felt the consequences, especially my kids. But here we are with 2/3 the volume left to go in 1/3 the time. Gotta keep picking. And pressing.

It means more than I can say that Beyond Organic W**e Podcast brought hot dinner over, Luke Thorley put b**r in our fridge, Nuala Hill learned how to drive a tractor on the fly, Jake Brogan *understands* and Ann Bliss and Tim Arscott are decending on us this week to help us keep our heads above water. And that we have friends who stay friends even thpugh they dont hear from us for 4 months each fall. This community means the world to us.

NEW RELEASE! Gleanings pet nat c***r. Super aromatic. Fruity and floral. Pours with a gorgeous froth of teeny tiny bubbles. Highly gulpable. Just about 7 cases left after going out to our c***r club. Get it at the c***ry, online or at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market.
Friend and colleague Charles recently asked me “what’s the difference between foraging, scavenging and gleaning?” (To which Ezra replied “scavenging is when one c***ry picks the pears the other c***ry couldn’t reach off the top of the tree” but never mind, that’s an inside joke)
Charlie should have included ‘scrumping’ in this philosophical question, because the question has deep historical and political context, as A Vagrant's Pomona explores in A Vagrant’s Pomona (teaser- a beautiful book/zine/art project available through our next club shipment for those who missed the kickstarter)
In any case, Gleanings is a word with a lot of history and meaning loaded into it, but in the case of this c***r it means fruit that otherwise had no use from our friends Brian at Hemlock Grove and Scott at Under the Tree Farm | Finger Lakes, NY , pressed into something fleeting and delightful with a bit of waste-not-want-not aesthetic along with a bit of a “wow could Golden Russets and other gleanings frozen and hanging on the tree in November make an interesting c***r?” kind of curiosity. To which we say: Yes, yes they can.

Picking Yarlinton Mill on Albee Hill today. What a gorgeous crop these trees have! These apples are full of water core which may indicate the presence of unfermentable sugars that would result in a bit of residual sugar at the end of fermentation. Excited to press them and see what happens!

New Release! 2025 Sparkling Perry. A blend of estate grown, wild foraged and purchased fruit. Fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel and neutral oak. Secondary fermentation in the bottle with six months on the lees before disgorging. Aromatic, complex, delicate, dry. Amazing with soft bloomy rind cheese. Available online, at the farm, at Ithaca Farmers’ Market and at the very *best* shops and restaurants. Enjoy it while you can…like this beautiful fall weather we are having, it wont last long. 🍐🍐🍐🍐

Nuala Hill doing fermentation checks on c***r we pressed 3 weeks ago. She is using a hydrometer- a simple tool which measures the density of the liquid as compared to water by floating a calibrated and graduated glass buoy in the ferment to determine how much sugar the yeast have consumed. Happily, the barrels are moving along nicely!
