Keeping Community Healthy Update
Dear Finnriver friends,
We keep this farm mission at the core of what we do: to celebrate the beauty & bounty of the earth, to reconnect people to the land that sustains us and to grow community. We are actively seeking ways to continue doing this as our communities rally to slow transmission of corona virus and we at Finnriver are getting as creative as we can to adapt our business model and serve the collective right now!
While we feel vulnerable as a small company and concerned for our crew, neighbors and whole human family, we also feel galvanized and energized to utilize the tremendous resources of this community to activate our collective compassion and resilience. We will need each other as we navigate and we at Finnriver will be intently focused on how best to do so.
Those of you who want to continue to enjoy farmcrafted cider fermented with great love, and to support our small farm business, this is a GREAT to join the Finnriver Cider Club and get seasonal shipments delivered to your door: JOIN THE CLUB
With gratitude and love! -- the folks at Finnriver

On weekend days between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we offer this adventure in the orchard! Take a stroll through our 10 acres of organic fruit trees with a Finnriver host as your guide.

The 1/4 mile loop around the fields and trees is interwoven with stories on farm history, apple, orchard and fermentation facts and insights into our mission and land partnerships.
