Community Cider Pressing Event

Many Apples. One Cider. Join us for our first-ever community pressing event to create "A More Perfect Union". Many apples. One cider. “A More Perfect Union.” This fall, we’re gathering at the cider barn for a new Yankee Cider tradition: Bring the apples from your backyard, your family farm, or that old tree at the edge of your property and help us press them into something communal and unique. Our Community Press is a celebration of New England orchards, neighbors, harvest season, and the simple pleasure of making something together. Throughout the day, you’ll be able to see and take part in the pressing process as apples from across our community are washed, ground, and pressed into fresh juice. That juice will then become a new limited-release cider, “A More Perfect Union 2026”. We welcome the public to take part by bringing a basket of apples with them, and in turn they will receive something special in 2027: For every 5 pounds of apples you contribute, you’ll receive one 22oz bottle of the finished cider when it’s released (up to 3 bottles per customer). Spend the day at Yankee Cider with cider in hand, good food, music, the orchard, and the kind of crisp October air that makes you want to stay a little longer. Bring the kids, bring your friends, and most importantly: Bring some apples! The more varieties contributed, the more unique and distinct the resulting hard cider will be! We also have some limited-edition Community Press apparel available for pre-purchase, receivable during the 2027 Release Party, so you can commemorate the inaugural pressing and wear a little piece of the tradition home with you. https://www.customink.com/g/yqk0-00d3-pdpp Please use the registration link to submit your participation details and read the full participation guidelines: https://forms.gle/GNumU1PMj6idijng8
