SLOWPOKE CIDER FARM

We met Rae and Frank the first time we took a load of foraged apples to be pressed at Scrumpy's Apple Press & Cider House. Such wonderful, knowledgable and friendly people! We were really impressed with their operation and when we found out that 2021 was to be their last year running the business, we jumped at the opportunity to start up our farm-based fruit pressing operation using their model. We bought some equipment, built a barn, and with some amazing guidance from Rae and Frank we opened Slowpoke Cider Farm's Fruit Press in 2022! We hope we can do Scrumpy's proud!... There's a lot going on at Slowpoke Cider Farm. It took us a couple of tries to get our cider trees established. With over 400 1-2 year old trees in the nursery, we're excited to start planting out our 5 acre orchard in the big field this coming spring. Mainly cider and heritage apple varieties, our cider orchard is a slow but steady first step towards starting our all natural farmhouse cidery, tasting and picnic..
