Cider tastes great on rainy days too, and although you can’t yet sit at the bar, the line up of ciders taking up the space is pretty fantastic and can be yours. Swing by and stock up, also grabbing your local eggs, meats, honey, syrup, lamb, wool, cheeses, micro greens, prepared foods and more! 1-4pm today at the Cidery. #getoutintherain #localsupport

Due to the excavation for a horse barn we are putting up, we now have a pond with all sorts of wildlife taking up residence. New attraction at the Cidery, Nate the snake wrangler?! Any guesses on what snake this is? It made a rattling noise with its tail. We think we have an idea. #wildlifebythepond #killdeer #snakecharmer

Still eating last year’s apples from our orchard

Still eating last year’s apples from our orchard! Enterprise and Keepsake, both kept in cold storage over the winter so we can enjoy Minnesota grown apples almost year round. The Enterprise keeps up a better appearance but don’t let that little shriveled-skin Keepsake fool you. Firm flesh and delicious flavor for both! Probably don’t have to remind you how much we love Keepsake? #minnesotagrownapples #eatlocalyearround

You can get it! This Saturday 5/2 at the Cidery during our socially distanced local food market from 1-4pm. A long-aged collaboration with @loonliquors in which we aged our cider in their charred wood staves used in whiskey making. A touch of sweetness makes this cider oh so drinkable. We had it with a steak from @jirikfarms and our own sweet potatoes with a delectable salad complete with carrots, daikon and watermelon radish from @openhandsfarm ...mmm. #worktogether #goodciderandgoodfood #eatlocalallyear

Any of your New Year’s resolutions thwarted by Coronavirus? Tristan can commiserate. Fortunately you can still pick up a great burger and support one of your favorite local restaurants like @theolestore or @birchwoodcafe or buy locally sourced products to grill your own. Pair it with a bottle of Keepsake for a winning combo! #burgersandcider #keepdreaming #becreative

Wide open spaces! The flowers aren’t quite bloom

Wide open spaces! The flowers aren’t quite blooming and the apples are not yet on the trees, but you can safely get some fresh air at Keepsake wandering the Orchards or hike the Cannon Valley Wilderness for the more adventurous. Our Socially distanced Local Vendor Market continues with some new faces from 1-4pm on Saturday, April 18. Forecasted for sunny and 60, this is the perfect day to get out, meet your community producers and get your essentials directly from the producer. Bottles of cider available to go as always with a special new release! Swipe to see who will be here.

During hectic times, when we are just trying to ta

During hectic times, when we are just trying to take one a step at a time, we are struck by the contrast between focusing on the here and now and working with trees and ciders that will be enjoyed for years to come. Despite all the uncertainty of today we have to make decisions and work on projects that will not come to fruition for years, literally.
When we are pruning the trees, most of the cuts are made in order to get fruit years from now.
In the cidery, we recently bottled a very unique blend of high acid, tannic apples, Wickson, Dolgo, and Geneva Tremletts Bitter. We are going to treat it like a traditional champagne.
Bottling with a high amount of residual sugars, we will age these bottles upside down for almost a year, then freeze the neck of the bottle, disgorge the yeast that has collected on the cap, then cork and cage it for a bubbly bottle of delicious local cider. Release date will be up to the cider, but we hope it’s here in time for New Years. Planning ahead, hoping for reasons to celebrate.
