DIAMOND LAKE ORCHARD
Sorry we are closed for selling Apples, Hard Cider and Honey effective October 19th. The winery will be open October 24th and 25th and then be closed for the season.
SWEET CIDER
What started as a 2019 winter project culminated with the receipt of a state license that allows the orchard to produce and sell sweet cider (non pasteurized) at the Diamond Lake Orchard. The process starts with the selection and washing of juice apples grow in our own orchard.
HARD CIDER
Along with our Sweet cider and Wine we offer a select of unique hard ciders. The four flavors are Apple Cinnamin, Apple Cherry, Apple Honey and Straight Apple. The hard ciders are all produced from our own apples on site. They are sold as a 4 pack of 12 ounce glass containers with your ability to mix and match what flavors you want.
CIDER EQUIPMENT
This is just some of the equipment that was added last year in order to process cider. Shown is a grinder on the left that takes the fruit and chops it up so that it can be feed into the press shown on the right. In the press the apple grindings are squeezed using water pressure to create the cider.
State of Michigan GMP (Good Management Processes) were used to create a special cider room where the cider is processed and bottled.
