More and more farmland across the country is owned by large industrial companies owned by outside investors, some based on the other side of the world. That's why family farms matter more than ever, and why we're proud to be one 🌱

When you buy from a family farm, you know exactly who grew your food. At Wilson's, it's Paul, who has been grafting apple trees. It's his brother Mike, whose family farm in Michigan sends us the cherries, peaches, and blueberries you pick up every summer. It's our crew, who know these rows by heart, and it's you, the neighbors and families who keep coming back year after year.

Family farms are run by people who live on the land, drink the water, and raise their kids in the same community they feed. That means caring for the soil, keeping dollars circulating in the community, and building something worth passing down. Thank you for choosing us, and for supporting family farms everywhere πŸŽπŸ’›

Have ya met Liz? 🐝

She’s our evening bar manager and one of our original worker bees, here since the very first day we opened the Des Moines farm. She’s poured plenty of c***r, shared countless laughs, and watched this little farm grow into what it is today.

Outside of work, Liz is a die-hard Grateful Dead fan. In 2023, she spent three whole weeks on the road following the band from show to show, which might explain her wonderfully laid-back personality.

Next time you find yourself at the Ciderhouse bar, say hi to Liz and ask her about the tour!🍻

85 degrees in October? We’ll take it! β˜€οΈ

Apples are on the trees, pumpkins are in the patch, and the Alien Invasion Corn Maze is open for exploring. The Ciderhouse patio has a seat in the sun with your name on it.

Days like this don’t come around often, so we're enjoying every bit of it! 🍎

Late October is made for reaching up for one more apple, gathering flowers before the season slips away, and wandering the pumpkin patch until the right one finds you. By the end of the month, the farm feels wonderfully full and carries that unmistakable feeling that fall is nearing its finale. πŸ‚

More than anything, it’s a weekend to slow down, spend some time together, and enjoy the farm while autumn is still here. We can’t wait to share it with you! πŸŽπŸŽƒπŸ’

Some of the best parts of childhood are still pretty simple.

A pile of hay becomes a fort. A patch of dirt turns into a whole afternoon. One trip across the Farmyard somehow becomes a race, an expedition, a rescue mission, and a snack break all at once.

There’s room to wander, climb, invent, get muddy, visit the animals, and wear yourself out without anyone needing to plan every minute of it.

It feels a little slower here, in the best way. More fresh air. More scraped knees. More made-up games. More time to just be a kid 🌾

The Great Pumpkin is real, and we're building it one pumpkin at a time πŸŽƒ

Inspired by the incredible pumpkin sculptures of Germany, where artists stack thousands of pumpkins into towering works of art, our crew has started building something big. Very big. When it's finished, it'll be one GIANT pumpkin made entirely of smaller pumpkins!

Check back as it grows, or come watch it take shape in person 🧑

Every Thursday through Saturday in October, the Alien Invasion Corn Maze opens under the stars, with strange signs, glowing paths, and a crash landing site waiting somewhere deep within the corn. Borrow a flashlight, bring your bravest crew, and follow the alien hand πŸ‘½πŸ›Έ

As the season starts to change, our al fresco dinners will too. The Hunter's Moon is a celebration of bounty and we are so excited to share ours with you.

We invite you to join us on Sunday, October 25th for a true feast. Our culinary team has put together a menu that is meant to be savored and shared. Not only will we be roasting a hog (from a local farm, of course), we'll be shaving Iberico ham, piling high grazing tables, and blending a one-of-a-kind c***r just for this night - poured it straight from the barrel in the Basque txotx tradition. The evening will open with a cocktail hour and live music on the venue patio, and it will around a proper bonfire as the moon climbs over the farm.

Won't you join us? Get your tickets now (link in the comments).
