Keepsake Cidery is excited to announce a special offer for CSA members! Not only will you get the benefits of being a Cider Club member (member party, Keepsake merchandise, cider tastings, priority invites to other events), but you can get also join us at the Orchard and Cidery just down the road for delicious local food. We have a Tasting Room, where you can get cider and yummy toasties in a relaxed and beautiful environment, and receive exclusive discounts as a Cider Club member! You can join as a half share (13 wine-sized bottles) or full share (26 wine-sized bottles) member for the season. This is a convenient way to enjoy traditionally crafted hard cider pressed from local apples throughout the year and support another Northfield area family business. Ours is a time-intensive process that focuses on apples, yeast and time (no artificial flavors/sweeteners). We let the apples to do the talking! We found with past experience that are Cider club members enjoy picking up their cider at the Cidery whenever they’d like when we are open, but we can offer the option of picking up on three distributions on your CSA pick up day. We will coordinate that individually with you!
