We have shifted to our fall hours! Open seven days a week. 🍂 #MerridaleMakes

We are pressing! This is the beginning of the next vintage of Merridale ciders. The pomace after pressing is almost dry to the touch, as our press extracts over 90% of the juice from the apples. We only use the first (and only) pressing in our craft ciders. 🍎 #MerridaleMakes

We completed our first pressing at the orchard this past week. We pressed 22 bins of apples, each one containing approximately 850 lbs of apples (roughly 18,700 lbs total), which resulted in 4400 litres of pure, fresh juice. #MerridaleMakes

Now here’s something we don’t see every day! Our courtyard hitching post is suitable for visiting dogs and horses. ❤️ #MerridaleMakes

The pressing continues! A rainbow of apples ready for pressing. #MerridaleMakes

Cider, cheese, and sunshine... is there anything better? Thanks samanthanorman // IG for the #throwback to sunny summer daysat the Farmhouse. We’ve moved into fall hours and are still open 7 days a week! Learn about visiting Merridale: merridale.ca/visit #MerridaleMakes

Everyone’s got a friend who is known for bringing the most delicious, interesting bottle of something special to the dinner party. This Thanksgiving, be that person. Celebration Cider is a champagne-style craft cider with a dry, effervescent finish. 🥂 #MerridaleMakes

It’s the season for apple pie.. and apple pie cider! This seasonal favourite pairs perfectly with baked goods, charcuterie plates, and cozy fall days. 🍂🍎#MerridaleMakes

Fall visits to the orchard can be a little wet, but it’s worth it to witness a craft cidery during harvest season. These heavy apples are approaching perfect ripeness, and will be the next batch pressed and fermented here at the farm. 📸: stephforrer // IG #MerridaleMakes
