Apple cider

Wickham’s apple cider has a hearty red color, unlike the paler mass-market alternative.  We do not add anything to our cider.  Our cider is 100% the juice from pressed apples.  Take home our cider in 1-gallon, 1/2-gallon, and 8-ounce sizes.

Cider

Taking a batch of cider from the cider press up to the farmstand.  We make our cider in Cutchogue’s original cider press, which dates from the early days of the 20th century.  The cider press was located next door to the building where the King Kullen supermarket is now, on the north side of Route 25 in Cutchogue, before we moved the cider press to our farm in the years immediately following World War II.  The flavor and coloration of our cider varies depending on the mix of fruit that we put into the press, so no two batches taste exactly alike.  Try our 8-ounce size cider bottle.  It’s the perfect size for refreshment on the go.

The most interesting grower on the North Fork

He has hitchhiked clean across the Australian Outback.  He has survived numerous bombings.  He has gone down the wrong side of the river in Indonesian headhunter country and come back in one piece.  He is the most interesting grower on the North Fork.  “I don’t always drink apple cider, but when I do, I drink the kind that comes out of a century-old screw press driven by belts made from rawhide leather.”  Stay local, my friends.

The arrival of autumn

With the arrival of autumn, we feature at the farmstand our traditional apple cider in 8 oz, 1/2 gallon, and 1 gallon sizes, apple turnovers, local whole milk, assorted cheeses, caramel apples on Fridays and Saturdays, and candy apples on Fridays and Saturdays.
