Kapnick Orchards Apple Cider-Pint

Everyone tells us Kapnick Orchards has the best cider! We took 1st place in the Michigan Sweet Cider Contest on December 6, 2017 in Grand Rapids! You always tell us its the best now the whole state knows! We also had a 5th place finish in 2012 and 2018!

We are still pressing fresh cider!

There is nothing better during the fall in Michigan than apple cider and donuts. Kapnick Orchards is one of the few cider mills that continue pressing cider nearly year round. We start pressing cider usually during the 2nd week in September because we wait until we have a good blend of apples. We press all fall, winter, spring, and usually do not stop until early summer. There are only a few months a year when our sweet cider is not available.

How do you make cider?

The first thing we do is select a quality blend of tart and sweet apples. These apples are washed and sorted. The apples are then ground up and pumped into our Good Nature Cider Press. Our press squeezes the apples, and the cider flows into a catch tray under the press. From there it is pumped into a holding tank from which it is bottled.
