We consciously source each of our ingredients, working with small local farmers and producers wherever possible. Our community of partners in upstate New York, New England and beyond allows us to access the highest quality, sustainably grown and harvested whole ingredients that make our craft fire ciders and oxymels so unique.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Our raw, organic Apple Cider Vinegar comes to us from Old Dutch Mustard Co., a family owned and operated company with an 80-year history in in Greenville, New Hampshire.
Honey
We are actively scaling up our own apiaries in hopes of producing enough honey to make all of our products. Meanwhile, we source our honey from local producers throughout eastern New York and Western Massachusetts such as Crystals Raw Honey in Billerica, MA.
Maple Syrup
And our Grade A Maple Syrup comes from Butternut Mountain Farm in neighboring Vermont, where we’ve been honored to be adopted into the local food community through our gravel biking community in the Northeast Kingdom.
Alliums, Roots + Herbs
We also grow our own organic onions, garlic, horseradish and herbs, and aspire to grow enough for all of our production. Meanwhile we’re partnering with local sources, such as Grieg Farms across the river from us in Red Hook, NY, which houses one of our apiary yards and is growing garlic for our 2023 production year. You can visit and pick your own apples and berries, and buy our product in their farm store!
We are also proud to source from Marty's Local, which supplies high quality produce from Western Massachusetts, Vermont, the Hudson Valley of New York, Connecticut, and Maine.
Apiary Partners
Besides Greig Farms (mentioned above), we're lucky to have apiary partners such as the Lone Duck Farm in Saugerties, NY, who house our beehives and receive the magical gift of pollination in return.
Our ingredients are always of the highest quality. For ingredients that are not USDA certified, we make sure to obtain ingredients without the use of pesticides and, as always, we source locally whenever possible.
