Lots of us are California dreamin’ at the moment. I am. You probably are too. I was walking to the mailbox, through the almost knee-high snow last week when I ran into a neighbor and was had a good talk about our new THC seltzer. She mentioned that she knew an increasing number of people […]

Well, we tried opening some extra days about 6 months ago- Mondays and Wednesdays to be exact. And what we’ve learned is that not many people go out on Wednesdays, but they do tend to book special events on Wednesdays if that’s an option. So if you’re one of the few lonely folks who prefer […]

These fall afternoons are gorgeous, aren’t they? A bit chilly at times, yes, this is Minnesota, but still gorgeous. One of the nicest things, in our opinion, about our taproom is the windows. We have big, south-facing windows at the front of the room, and operable windows on the west side, so the afternoon sun […]

Yes, we pick apples, but sometimes the tree is too far away, or there just aren’t enough to justify the trip to the yard to pick. Yes, we have to make money- we’re a for-profit business, though we don’t make a profit all that often. So, we pick where the pickings are best. But, you […]

And did we mention the silver medals? Well, if we did, I’ll mention it again. We sent four of our ciders: pear, maple and oak, honey toast and blackcurrant to the biggest cider competition in North America this year, and came home with four silver medals. Four. So this week, we’re putting all four on […]

People are doing things again! If you haven’t been out lately, you may not have noticed. But people are doing things again! Our taproom has actually been busy a few times since we reopened at the beginning of the month. We’ve hosted a 50th birthday party, we’ve seen a book club congregating at our tables […]

I mean, I’m watching it all the time too, don’t get me wrong. But you might need an evening out. Just a suggestion, but it might do you a bit of good. The world won’t end if you tune out for a bit, and if it does, it may as well end while you’re holding […]
