Vinegar - Our vinegar has all the attributes mentioned for the cider, and people enjoy it as a cooking ingredient and folk remedy. It is made without additives and is not heated (pasteurized).

Cider - Our cider, like yogurt, is a raw, "living" food. Refrigerated cider keeps 7 to 10 days before it begins to "turn" (grow fizzy, become alcoholic) It freezes well, and needs to be shaken (not stirred) when thawed for use. It is high in vitamins and mineral-rich.

Where To Find Our Products
|
Back in 2008, Federal regulations regarding pasteurization of cider brought about changes in where we are able to wholesale our cider. You can buy cider from the farm in season, or participate in "Cider Club." For Cider Club one must order in advance via email and commit to a five-gallon minimum order, which gives a dollar per gallon discount. When ordering, you specify if you want the containers full or "freezer-ready" and arrange to pick up at the farm by a certain time Friday. We will confirm your order details by email. There is always a way to get the whole, living cider you love!
Historically we provided much of the cider at the annual Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine, the permanent site for Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners. Come see us at our booth at the fair and help us celebrate rural living. After about 30 years of participation, 2016 was our last year at the fair, though we will sell our apple cider vinegar through our friends' booth, Eden Acres Family Farm. Please come to our booth and talk to us about exciting new ventures at our farm and our increased focus on vinegar! And come to the farm to see where it all grows! Our award winning apple cider vinegar can be purchased at the following places:
Chef/Owner Sam Hayward of Fore Street Restaurant in Portland nominated our vinegar for inclusion in the Down East Magazine "Best of Maine" issue (2008) and uses it at his restaurant. It was touted by Chef David Levi in his demonstrations and talks at Common Ground Fair (2012) and is used at his restaurant, Vinland. It is also used by Chef Melissa Kelly at Primo Restaurant, Chef Frank Giglio at Three Lily Farm and Brian Beggarly at Boyton-McKay Food Company. The cookbook Vinegar Revival, by Harry Rosenblum, thanks Bob in the acknowledgments and pictures our vinegar. Some of our wholesale customers have included Herbal Revolution, Rusty's Hot Sauce, Cheryl Wixson's Kitchen, Luce's Meats, Sheepscot General Store, Avena Botanicals, Lalibela Farm and Salt Water Farm. Our customers enjoy using our vinegar for marinating meats, use in sauces, herbal tinctures, pickling, to drink in water as a preventative folk medicine and to use in compresses for burns, bites and stings and to aid healing of stitches. There is good research out now---and more is being published all the time---on the efficacy of apple cider vinegar to regulate blood sugar and for its use to treat disorders such as acid reflux. Bob is available to give talks on the many uses of organic apple cider vinegar. |
