This is how we press! Beautiful apples, pears and quinces from Miljuschka's orchard.

First grind the apples, then make layers in the rack and cloth press, then the juice comes out!

This box holds a story from the past. When the Horstermeerpolder was created, a cooperative fruit auction was created.
In the agricultural modernization in the 60s and 70s, grants were given to cut down old fruit trees. So the auction closed.
In the past, the river Vecht was a fruit region full of orchards. Now they are thinly spread out.
Receiving this old crate of apples was joyful, as it is the same day we install the press to start the pressing season, and create new products from old orchards.
The crate belongs to Vreedenhorst in Vreeland. We make a very fruity cider each year with tropical tones, resulting from the apple 'sweet caroline' on the estate

During our harvest lunch Prof. Erik de Jong gave a

During our harvest lunch Prof. Erik de Jong gave a lecture about the celebration of harvest in various cultures. We compiled a harvest table for the opportunity, showcasing fruit, vegetables, grains and flowers.

Erik explained the meaning of everyday rituals in our daily lives. Seasonal rituals were likewise very common in cultures and eras that relate more to nature and harvest than our present day society does.

With examples of Japanese, native North-American, and celtic traditions, Erik de Jong showed the meaningful, heartfelt, communal and sometimes humoristic rituals around the world. Apparantly it's so natural to us to mark moments in the year, relating to seasons.

Our loss of a seasonal moment to stand still and be thankful for the bounty of nature, might relate to our disconnect from nature. This disconnect is part of our environmental problems.

By celebrating the cycle of life, growth, and harvest, we might be able to reconnect ourselves again. It can start a more sustainable lifestyle, where local food and products make your diet have a more positive impact on your world.
That's what we want to be part of, and even instigate.
Our goal is to celebrate all seasons, as joyful occasions where we meet new and old friends, taste nature's products, and enjoy music, food and drinks, and be inspired by talks like Erik's. This is part of our #ciderrevolution where we build a culture and community around the orchards we love, value, maintain and develop.

At our harvest lunch we presented our new cider/beer hybrids: Against the Grain and Tegendraads.

It is a co-fermentation of our wild apple juice and beer wort made by @nevelwildales

We split the batch and each fermented it ourselves. The products are twins!

Nevel used their wild yeast house culture and barrel aged, then dryhopped Tegendraads.

Elegast worked with spontaneous fermentation straight from the orchard, then barrel aged half of the batch and blended again to a whole.

Old grain and old apple varieties are used in the product, making it a valuable reuse of heirloom varieties that are worth keeping.

You can order both as a twin pack on our or Nevel's website!

Autumn really started. Fog and sunshine, a cold morning.
That means we work towards pressing season, where we want the temperature to be cold for a slow wild fermentation.
#seasonality is part of #cidermakers life

Today we finished picking apples and pears @huis_te_jaarsveld , rain defying. You know why the green pastures and trees are so green in the Netherlands: we have plenty of rain. And it's good for apples!
All we need now is a #ciderculture .
It's part of our mission to create one. The other part is to help sustain these old orchards.

A cider culture is an outdoor life.

It is enjoying nature: first picking the fruit and later drinking cider and enjoying the taste of nature.

With our harvest fest of last weekend in mind, today was a good follow-up to complete this lifestyle in one week. In between we even pressed pears, apples, and de-stemmed grapes!

Adding grapes to the mix! Orchard De Fazant has two rows of Regent grapes. Last year the chicken beat us to them, but this year they were protected and we seize the opportunity. Last year's test of 1 liter cider with whole grapes co-fermented showed us the potential: a fruity light red wine, that reminded somewhat of a Gamay wine. So this year we'll try it with a serious amount!
