Unpasteurized Honey
We think the bees on our farm are pretty special. Unlike your typical 9 to 5 garden variety bumble bees, they’re very busy. After working hard all day pollinating our apple blossoms, they then spend their evenings making us honey.
There’s absolutely nothing better than 100% natural, pure and unpasteurized honey and we love that we get to harvest and bring it to you all season long at our Kitchener-Waterloo location.
Fresh-Pressed Apple Cider
Our cider is made from apples grown right on the farm, picked and pressed at the peak of their flavour and the height of nutrition. You have our guarantee our cider is 100% pure apple juice, never watered down or sweetened with concentrate or added sugar.
We press at least once a week at a local cidery by crushing a special blend of our apples into a pomace, then pressing the juice from the pomace. At this point the small apple solids left floating in the juice turn colour (oxidize) almost immediately when exposed to air, and this is what gives our fresh-pressed apple cider that gorgeous caramel colour.
Food safety: For optimal enjoyment keep cider in the fridge and abide by best before dates. Cider can be frozen, but when thawed please consume within seven days. For your safety our cider has been flash-pasteurized.
