It may have taken the better part of September to get here, but these clear, calm, and warm days are one of the reasons we love this month so much. Apple harvest is even better in this weather!

Just in time for fall, we're back with Rootwood Reports!
This time we tackled a Golden Delicious Risotto...interesting combo, right? We were pretty delighted by how wonderfully this pairing came together. And only half a cup of cider required leaves plenty left in your growler for personal enjoyment 😁. Link in bio for the recipe!

And just like that, our Hot Spiced Cider is back! Get it at the taproom all weekend, 12-6 PM.

You tell us...🌡is it time to start making hot spiced cider?🌡
We're working on a few more improvements on our patio to make this weekend little easier for cider sipping, should we add hot spiced cider to the to-do list?

Happy fall to all! 🍁We had to get in some celebratory baking featuring Ashmead’s Kernel and Golden Russet plucked straight from the orchard. Who else is ready for all the apple inspired desserts?! 😃🙋🏻♀️🍎

The apples in this block may have been picked, but the view never gets old.

Smoky skies brought the summer to a more abrupt halt than anticipated, but we're seeing a little clearing today and are very ready for a patio happy hour! This 'Rootwood Mule' (our twist on an Apple Cider Moscow Mule) fits the bill, skirting the line between summer and fall nicely. Here's our own Rootwood Mule Recipe:
2 oz. Rootwood Harrison Cider
6 oz. ginger beer
1/2 oz. cinnamon whiskey
1 oz. dark rum
Combine ingredients in a glass over ice, garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon stick for extra fall pizzazz.

Harvest 106 is in full swing! Each bin is stacked and loaded on to the truck. The truck then heads to the nearby warehouse where these Golden Delicious apples will be cleaned, sorted, and packed into boxes, ready to be shared with the world.

In need of a cider inspired baking project this weekend? We recommend these cider glazed cinnamon rolls 🤤. ⠀
⠀
For the glaze (makes enough to top about 20 cinnamon rolls):⠀
⠀
- 4 c. powdered sugar⠀
- 2/3 c. melted butter⠀
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract⠀
- 1 c. cider reduced on the stovetop to about 1/4 c. (we used the Harvest 105 for its lighter profile)⠀
⠀
Mix ingredients and top the cinnamon rolls while they're still warm. Enjoy for breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, and dinner.⠀

Welcome to Apple 101! 🤓🍎 The question of the day is: how many apples does it take to make a cider? It's dependent on the variety, but in general it requires the juice of 6 apples for our 500 mL bottles of cider and 9 apples for our 750 mL bottles.
And yes, we did chow down on that Golden Delicious shortly after this picture was taken and it was every bit as appetizing as it looks.

Anyone else not quite sure what season it is?
With a haze in the sky, it's a bit confusing, but our orchards filled with ripening apples are saying a definitive "Fall is here, time to harvest!"
To celebrate this special time of year, we created a new cider cocktail called "Harvest Spice" which features our newly released Harvest 105 cider, infused with fresh ginger, orange, and a hint of clove. This cider cocktail is served chilled, which is the perfect way to enjoy the beginning of the Fall season as we say goodbye to summer.
Get it at our taproom Cider Garden, open 12-6 (with slight modifications due to smoke).

⚠️ Air Update⚠️
While we are seeing a bit of air movement, the Cider Garden will remain closed until safer air quality numbers materialize. Thankfully we have a bit better airflow in our orchards right now, as we prepare for harvesting the next ripening apple varieties.
Stay tuned for some orchard updates as we are still celebrating Washington Cider Week! @waciderweek

Have you met Clemente? He's been a crucial figure in farming for more than 35 years! He has a big smile, a great sense of humor, and a near perfect memory.
Clemente keeps a mental rolodex of details about the orchards including number of bins picked per block each year, duration of harvest, dates of major storm events (hail, frost, etc), and many other considerations that keep the orchards in shape.
He's definitely part of the process of getting cider in the glass. If you see him at the taproom and want to buy him a cold one, his favorite cider is Golden Tri (recently sold out), so he's settling for Lake Effect these days. Thank you Clemente for all your hard work and knowledge!
