How about a crisp, Autumn day spent picking apples, drinking delicious hard cider with friends and family, AND eating phenomenal food? Now is the time for cidery owners and operators to consider adding a foodservice program to their business. Having available food options is a great way to draw in customers and keep them hanging out long after they’ve finished picking.
Now, exactly what kind of menu selections should a cidery have? Well, they are only limited by their imaginations, and kitchen equipment! With the right tools, cideries can pump out everything from crispy wings to savory pizzas, and just about anything else in between. They can even incorporate apples into their menus. Imagine visiting your favorite orchard for your annual apple picking outing.
