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; then, it's bottled by our state-of-the-art, automated bottling system. From December through August, we offer three additional flavors of cider – cranberry, cherry, and peach – if juice apple inventory is favorable. The flavorings are 100% all-natural concentrates. In 2008, we pressed 120,000 bushels of apples (the equivalent of 120 tractor-trailer loads), which produced 388,000 gallons of cider. Most of this cider was bottled, but 35,000 gallons went to our butter plant as an ingredient in our home-made fruit butters. |

Apple Snitz
Our apple snitz is made from fresh apples and air-dried with no preservatives. 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. Our apple snitz is available in sweet and tart variations made with different varieties of apples; it can be purchased at our market, various outlets in the Mid-Atlantic regions (click here for vendors), and online.

Apple 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 & spice
• No sugar, with spice
• No sugar, no spice
• No sugar, no spice, with honey
• With sugar & natural raspberry flavor
• With sugar & natural strawberry flavor
• With sugar, spice, & 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 farm market and online.
