Grampa Tony's Apple Cider...

People say it's the best cider they have ever had. We make our cider using most of the 35 varieties of apples we grow. Each variety adds its own flavor to to the blend: aromatic (from Macoun and Cortland), high-sugar (Delicious, Gala and Fuji), high-acid (Greening and certain Macintosh), and mildly subacidic (Ginger Gold and Empire).

Grampa Tony's Apple Cider has a full old-fashioned taste. To retain the flavor we leave it unpasteurized. For safety, we use only apples harvested from the tree, never from the ground. Then they are thoroughly brushed and power-washed and the product is constantly tested.

The result is a flavor that is unbeatable. Some folks freeze our cider, so they can have it all year long. Some ship frozen cider to their friends and relatives who live in other parts of the country where they can't get great cider. If you haven't tried some yet - you really don't know what you are missing. Really.

The Hartford Courant stopped by a while ago and said some nice things about us. Read their article here...

We deliver some of our cider to a baker who turns them into cider donuts. We have fresh donuts and frozen donuts. It isn't enough for us to tell you they taste really good . You really have to try one, and then you'll know.

We also have Luann's frozen unbaked apple pies and apple crisps. Just put 'em into the oven and soon you will be enjoying warm, delicious apple pie.

Etc...

You never know what you will find at Applebrook Farm. We are always trying to bring you products that are tasty or interesting or fun. Stop by and see what we have at the Farm this week.
(PS. Did we mention the fudge?)
