Blackduck Cidery

For the month of October on Saturdays and Sundays 12pm to 5pm, we'll be offering flights outside at socially distanced picnic tables. It will be $15 per flight with 5 Blackduck beverages and a small local cheese and cracker plate. Seating is limited and offered on a first come first served basis. You may email to arrange for a reservation and no groups over 6 people. Masks must be warn until seated at your table. Enjoy the leaf changing season at the cidery/orchard and taste some wild fermented FLX beverages!

We think the 2019 Perry is the best one yet! We can still ship in NY State until Juyl 27th, unless the governor extends it again. Summer sipper.

Saturday the 27th our ability to ship in NY state will end thanks to the wise decisions of our bureaucrats. We have have a few new releases and the 2019 Perry and Crabby Pip are the best 2 vintages of those we've ever made. Free shipping for 2 more days! Checkout our website.

It's starting to feel like summer in the FLX and small fruit harvest is just around the corner. The girls can't wait! The tasting room is still open for bottle sales on Saturdays and Sundays 12 to 5pm. We will not be doing tastings for the next few weeks until we evaluate the safety of proceeding with that task. The amount of tourists in the FLX right now that forgot the US is still in the throes of a pandemic, made worse by our governments' slow response or complete inaction, is amazing to witness. We have to take a measured and cautious approach considering the farming work still needs to get done and we can't afford to get sick. That's the reality of a real family farm, if only the sheep listened!

Our overlord, Shannon, got a little shout out for her non farm work!

So this is new, we've never filled cider growlers at the Ithaca Farmer's Market before, but here we are with Black Flag cider this week. 32oz fills of cider and black currants from our orchards! Saturdays 9am to 1pm.

Happy Mom's Day!

Goodbye pears! With the cold temperatures tonight, more than likely the early pears, plums and cherries are gone for 2020. Hoping that the apples make it through and maybe the very late blooming pears. FLX orcharding is never dull. Stop at the Ithaca Farmers Market tomorrow 9am to 1pm, but bundle up first. Shannon will be braving the weather to bring you some goodies from Ovid, while I gently weep.

American plum hybrids and Hungarian Cherries in bloom, while we await a freeze warning tonight and Friday night. Fingers crossed!

The trees are pushing out and the flowers are on the way, fingers crossed! Shannon will bring our new vinegar flavor to the Ithaca Farmers Market tomorrow for the first time, blend of 90% apples and 10% black currants, it's off the hook say Idunn and Pippin! #farmersmarketsareessential

Seneca County Peeps, Tuesday the 28th of April, two pickup sites for the food bank. Ovid and Waterloo. Stay safe!

Help if you have the means! We've never seen demand like the last few weeks at the Ovid food pantry. It's a bit frightening, but also inspiring that when the corporations and the government fail the people, those with the least will always help out their brothers and sisters.

We'll be at the Ithaca Farmers Market tomorrow from 9am to 1pm with a bunch of the Finger Lakes best small farms. Please support all your local peeps! You can check out the order page on our website to purchase products for pickup at the market. Let us know on the order form in the comments section, that you're picking up at the market and we'll have it packed and ready. Stay safe! https://www.blackduckcidery.com/shop/?v=920f83e594a1
