Matthew Gusmer's family has been growing apples, pressing cider, and making their now-famous cider doughnuts at Windy Hill Orchard & Cidery in York, South Carolina since 1987. What started as a family pastime using a hand-crank cider press has grown into one of the York County area's most beloved fall destinations.Today, Matthew joins the podcast to share what it's like to carry forward a multigenerational business rooted in tradition while embracing the growing world of agritourism. We talk about hard cider, U-pick operations, seasonal marketing challenges, and what it means to build an experience—not just a farm stand—that keeps people coming back year after year.We also dive into Windy Hill's participation in the York County Ag + Art Tour—how it brings new visitors to the orchard, builds community connection, and gives folks a behind-the-scenes look at how apples and cider come to life in the South Carolina Upstate.This episode is brought to by Visit York County.
Founded in 1982 by Joseph Gilbert, The Chatham Berry Farm has been providing Columbia County and the surrounding areas with local, healthy and wholesome food for over 4 decades. Starting as a fruit stand pulled by a tractor, the 25 acre farm now includes a specialty food store, a garden center, a farm kitchen, a full-service meat and seafood department, production greenhouses and even a Cidery. Joe Gilbert, a vegetable and fruit farmer, joins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to talk about the history of the Chatham Berry Farm, lessons learned over time, and what the future may hold. Joe was born in New Jersey, and lived in Connecticut, before moving to Columbia County, NY. Working with a friend, they initially sold their produce in New York City, but eventually started the farm stand in1982. At that time, produce was only sold in bulk but they differentiated themselves by allowing customers to buy their produce by the 'piece'. They worked the land, focusing on creating rich soil and Improved it by composting leaves from neighboring towns on the property, tilling it into the soil every year. That approach paid off as, even today, they don't use any chemicals. They primarily grow blueberries, raspberries, herbs, and vegetables, partnering with other area farms to offer more options, and only selling retail (not wholesale). The Cidery, opened in 2016, is a relatively new addition which became very popular during the pandemic and beyond with its outdoor seating. The Chatham Berry Farm is a family owned and operated farm that faces the same challenges of other farmers in the region. Joe describes how farmers need to be multi-talented, able to handle carpentry, electrical, and plumbing tasks to keep everything working properly in addition to knowing how to run a farm. The hours are long to keep the fields productive and weed free and to keep their prices competitive and affordable. Farmers must adhere to many regulations and face many challenges. The number of farms in Columbia County today is a small fraction of what existed in the past. Farmers learn through trial and error what works and what doesn't, and Joe shares some of the lessons he's learned over the years. While Joe and his family enjoy the farming lifestyle, he understands that the long hours are not for everyone, especially in light of the challenges associated with turning a profit. Unfortunately, most farms today do not provide the only income for farm families. Joe's two sons, Jon and Mike, are integral in the day-to-day management of the farm business. Together, they've invested in their land, in the people they serve. as well as in the future of the entire community. Joe served on the board of Cornell Cooperative Extension for 20 years and continues to have great outreach to the local community with classes and seasonal events. The future of the farm lies in the hands of his children who will need to address the challenges of climate change, finding skilled labor and affordable housing for farm workers, among other things.. Listen to Joe to learn about the joys and challenges of farming in the Hudson Valley.

Fenceline Cider's Community Pick Program returns after a successful 2023 harvest season, in which it gathered more than forty thousand pounds of apples from the local community. The initiative invites area residents with apple trees to donate their harvests to be used as part of the company's ciders. Fenceline says it helps reduce the amount of local fruit that might go unused after ripening. In exchange for three or more bushels of acceptable apples, Fenceline will offer cider, a bar tab, or cash payment. By Connor Shreve.

Join Gabe Cook, Martyn Goodwin-Sharman, Grant Hutchison and Producer Scott, for this special episode of the Neutral Cider Hotel, a tribute to Susanna Forbes of Little Pomona.A dear friend of the pod, Susanna Forbes, recently passed away. Susanna was one half of the legendary Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery, alongside her wonderful husband, James. Our hearts, like all who knew her, are broken, and we send our love to James during this difficult time.In our grief, we wanted to pay tribute to Susanna and hear her charm wit and laughter once more. So, we compiled all three appearances that Susanna and James made on the podcast and put them together in this special episode.We'll start the show by sharing our thoughts on Susanna and what a legend she is. Then we dive into the interviews.The first interview is from August 2023, when Producer Scott traveled to Herefordshire for Gabe's wedding celebration and spent a day eating, drinking, bottling, and catching up with Susanna and James.After that, we go back to their second appearance on the pod in March 2021, when Susanna and James brought several ciders for us to taste, along with their assistant cider maker, Blair.Finally, you'll hear our very first interview from our very first episode of the Neutral Cider Hotel way back in October 2020. The audio quality for the guys is poor because they had some recording issues (and Producer Scott still loses sleep over it), but James and Susanna's audio sounds fantastic, and that's what really matters.We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we do, and thanks, as always, for listening and supporting the podcast.Susanna - We miss you, we love you and the world feels a bit emptier without you.

Wooden Gate: From Farm to Cidery with Clint Caver Clint Cavers and his wife Pamela have been farming for over 30 years at Wooden Gate The Farm and cidery is based in Pilot Mound, Manitoba, Canada which is right over the border of North Dakato. Clint's journey from hobby fermenter to full-time cider maker now represents 95% of their farm's focus. Initially homesteaders, they shifted towards cider making due to a passion for fermentation. Clint began making wine and cider about 25 years ago, initially with fruit wines before discovering the potential of apples. The Shift to Full-Time Cider Making In 2018, Clint and Pam decided to turn their cider-making hobby into a business. By 2019, Wooden Gate obtained its official license, and in 2020, it became a full-time venture. This shift was motivated by their desire for a less labor-intensive activity and a need for fulfilling work after their children left home. Orchard and Apple Varieties Wooden Gate's orchard spans seven acres with about 800 trees, including winter-hardy varieties like Goodland Norkent Norland Kerr – which is featured in the Orchard Queen cider that is tasted and discussed in this episode and various crab apples such as Rescue and Trail They have also planted heritage varieties and some English cider apple varieties like Dabinette. Cider Production and Techniques Clint emphasizes slow fermentation at low temperatures, with some fermentations lasting up to six months. Wooden Gate primarily uses cultured yeast, but experiments with wild ferments, particularly in their Orchard Queen cider. They produce about 50 cases of Orchard Queen annually and 300 gallons of other cider varieties. Community and Events Wooden Gate hosts various events, including an annual cider release and pop-up pizza and cider nights. Their son-in-law, a chef, handles the cooking, while their daughter plans events. They also groom cross-country ski trails in the winter, turning them into walking trails in the summer. Five Core Principles of Wooden Gate 1. Community: Creating a sense of community around their cider and farm. 2. Environmental Stewardship: Using organic, permaculture, and holistic management practices. 3. Sourcing Locally: Using locally grown fruit and selling locally. 4. Quality: Ensuring their cider represents their farm and Manitoba's unique terroir. 5. Authenticity: Highlighting the distinct flavors of their region in their cider.

“This is a moment of grace in our lives. People have come to visit us and we're going to share these people and these stories and whatever this time brings. Then they'd get up, say their goodbyes and my grandparents would go back to work. But at Seminary Hill what I wanted to do was make that sense of leisure and openness available to guests, whether they're coming to Seminary Hill to drink cider or to have a meal or to see friends.” We're in great company with Susan Manning and Doug Doetsch, owners of Seminary Hill in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Here they have created, curated and stewarded a boutique hotel, restaurant and private event space to coincide with their proudly local and intently sustainable, orchard and cidery - inviting parched guests and passersby alike to experience the agricultural heritage of their land. With five generations of family members tending to this land and hosting travelers passing through, Doug and Susan returned to commemorate and reinvigorate this sense of place - but with a creative and collaborative twist. Recruiting community members and instilling regenerative practices to create the World's First Passive House-Certified Cidery for all to savor - whether during a stay or simply passing through. In this episode, Susan and Doug give us a sweet taste of why Condé Nast Traveler has coined Seminary Hill as “James Fenimore Cooper's America with a dash of Tuscany.” Top Takeaways [1:50] Back in the mid 1800s apple orchards were not planted for city folk to go apple picking or for that perfect Thanksgiving apple pie. They were for making cider…the cheapest form of alcohol and a drink safer than water. [10:25] While Susan and Doug pursued careers in Chicago, they were called home to the Catskills to steward their family's land as it was in a “pre consumer culture” and yet to gentrify the town, curating a community of creatives with innovative ideas. [13:10] Hospitality at Seminary Hill is a simple, timeless and selfless act of inviting passersby to sit on a porch in a rocking chair, having a conversation with a cold drink in hand. [16:15] Seminary Hill is the world's first “Passive House-Certified Cidery.” What makes it “Passive House” you ask? [23:10] Stay in good company at the Boarding House on the National Registry of Historic Places and dine in good company at the Tasting Room overlooking the Seminary Hill orchard, savoring the smells, sights, and sounds of 60 varieties of apple trees and their entire holistic ecosystem. [45:00] Over the years, planting trees and putting them to bed has become a sort of “barn raising” tradition for the family and friends of Seminary Hill.

Meet Charlie and Josh of Sylvan Farm and Cidery. They do such an excellent job of introducing themselves and their story, that it would be redundant for me to pre-introduce them here. But I will tempt you to listen on by saying that they talk about harvesting wildish fruit – you know wild is an illusion, right? So maybe feral is more accurate - and making wine cider from it. Or cider wine. They talk about Queer ecology, and living and growing on the feral side of agriculture. They talk about how they're integrating tree breeding and selection and adaptive un-farming into their orchard program. And they talk about what they've learned from getting this thing started over the past couple of years. Now Sylvan Farm & Cidery is new, and I love the ideas and intentions behind it and through it because I think we'll all be able to learn some really valuable things along with Josh and Charlie as they explore these ideas in their farming. Oh and they may be making some of the most deliciously interesting perry that come from a grove of wild feral trees that may actually be one tree, like one super organism tree, so I'm excited for you to hear about that and for us all to taste their first vintage soon! https://sylvanfarmandcidery.com/ Support this episode by subscribing via patreon.

Reverend Nat's Cider (http://reverendnatshardcider.com) has helped change peoples' assumptions about craft cider in the Pacific Northwest, over their past 12 years of operation. The iconoclastic cider maker has adopted a flavor-forward, reverential-but-forward-looking approach to cider making that has ruffled some feathers and changed default narratives, but one thing it's never been is boring or cautious. A few weeks ago, West announced that he was winding down operations of Reverend Nat's Cider. Rather than let that experience and perspective fade into the ether, we engaged with Nat to capture his creative approach to cider making in a way that could be preserved for perpetuity. In this episode, West discusses: his beer-centric approach to cider making flavor and innovation within the very locally-focused cider sector making cider with beer yeast and selecting yeasts that work with the flavors of cider using hazy IPA yeast in cider making filtration and stability in cider achievements and regrets after a dozen years of making cider commercially approaching the closure with intention and passion And more.

Christina and Jesse don't make beer. At least not commercially. They have a palate for bone-dry, flavor-driven ciders and their late project Redwood Coast Cidery was their gift to the hard apple cider drinking world. Or at least to the Bay Area of San Francisco. These guys opened a Cidery in 2015 because they couldn't find the styles of cider they liked to drink - which sounds a lot like every home brewer I knew in the early 2000s. They opened on a responsible budget, grew quickly and expanded when it made sense. They had a plan to be the neighborhood hangout and to serve drinks to their friends, which sounds a lot like most breweries out there. They made a variety of products inspired by flavor, not profit. Brewed to be enjoyed, not ticked off on Untappd. They were passionate about creating a brand that meant something by crafting products that were true to who they were and how they saw the world. And, like entirely too many breweries with a similar ethos and whatever that French phrase is for Reason for Being, they were forced to close their doors. In late 2022 they closed both their production facility and their satellite tasting room. Putting a period, or maybe a comma in the story of Redwood Coast Cidery.
