| Apple Cider |
Since 1926 we've been "putting on the squeeze", reaping the delightful flavor and all-natural goodness of fresh apple cider. Careful, consistent blending of sweet and tart apple varieties is our specialty. The apples are inspected and washed before being ground and squeezed with modern, sanitary equipment. The cider is screened and flash-pasteurized, making a delicious, nutritious, refreshing beverage. It is then bottled with our state-of-the-art, automated bottling system. From mid-winter to late summer, we offer three additional flavors of cider: cranberry, cherry, and peach. The flavorings are 100% all-natural concentrates. In 2006, we pressed 100,000 bushels of apples (the |
|
|
|
| |
equivalent of 100 tractor-trailer loads), which produced 338,000 gallons of cider. Most of the cider is bottled, but some becomes an ingredient |
|
 |
in our home-made apple butter. Our gallons-per-bushel production ratio is usually 3.5:1. Stop by our retail farm market and try our award-winning "Bird-in-Hand blend." Drink to your health! |

| Fruit Butter |
Our fruit butters get their flavor from our old-fashioned process of cooking the fruit in fruit juices, retaining the natural sugars and fiber of the fruit. We take care to make them "just right." Apple butter can be enjoyed in |
seven tasty variations: * With sugar and spice * No sugar with spice * No sugar or spice * No sugar or spice with honey * With sugar and natural raspberry flavor * With sugar and natural strawberry flavor * With sugar, spice, and sassafras flavor * |
 |
|
Besides apple butter, we also make regular and sugar-free variations of peach, pear, and pumpkin butter. All of these butters and fruit butter gift packs are available in our retail farm market. |

It is a tasty, healthy, all-natural snack, and is well known as an ingredient in PA Dutch specialities like Snitz & Knepp and Snitz Pie.
