It is early fall and time to get ready for cider pressing!

Brookfield Bees at 1148 Kibbee Rd in Brookfield will be open for visitors from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday October 12 and Sunday October 13 for those who want to see our apple grinding and pressing process. In addition to fresh sweet cider we will also have boiled cider, honey, candles, soap and maple syrup available for purchase. There will be apple-related snacks and cider tasting for free.

Despite a great bloom in May, many apples did not set which resulted in a reduced crop for 2024. As a result, we only have about two thirds of the apples we usually harvest. In 2023 we ended up with 14 boxes of apples. This year we have a little more than 8. The apples are all now "sweating" in their boxes, developing sugar.

Prices for fresh cider are $8/gallon and $4/ half gallon. Boiled cider or cider syrup is available at a price of $9 for 8 oz, $12 for 12 oz or $16 for a pint. Call ahead for carboys 802 276 3808 (no text).
