We have reached capacity this year!

No more Fruit!

This has never happened before!!!!!!

This year we have seen a record amount of fruit come in, and an unbelievable amount of people have registered their trees to be picked. We always struggle to keep up, but this year has been unprecedented! We have processed over 50,000 pounds of fruit from over 500 households in the last 7 weeks. We have never seen this volume before, it’s significantly more than we have ever done before and we are so sorry to tell you we can no longer take fruit! Our tanks are full, our fridge is full. We have reached capacity! It pains us to say no. For us, there is nothing worse, but we literally have nowhere else to put the fruit. Even the deepest darkest corners of our cidery are filled up with apples and juice and cider.

There are other organizations who may be able to help you. In the past Agape Table, The Leftovers Foundation and Winnipeg Harvest have all accepted apples. We can’t guarantee if this is still the case, but it may be worth a call!

Thanks again — we really appreciate your support! And we really are sorry we can’t take anymore! Next year we will be back with increased capacity.

Thank you!
