It has been such an honor to be a part of the business community of Delaware County for these past 10 years. Running a small taproom in a rural area can be quite challenging, and simply wouldn’t be possible without an abundance of support from your community, and I feel so fortunate to have had that.

From the amazing staff at Wayside (past and present) to our loyal and beloved regulars, to the other business owners who have guided, mentored, and vented with me along the way, it has truly taken a village to raise this taproom! Hope to see you all on Saturday to help us celebrate and get a jump start on the next 10!

🍎 HARVEST SEASON is here!

We’ve been busy in the orchards and on the farm, so it’s definitely time for a harvest checkin from producer Irene!

Field Report -

“The harvest season has been rolling along, and we’re finally starting to pick up some steam. Ater a somewhat slow start we seem to have actually figured out where the apples are, so now we get to start crushing them up to make juice.

We’ve changed up our process a little over the last few years, we’ve been allowing our apple pomace to macerate overnight before we press it. We’re still doing some fine tuning on the system, but we’ve been really loving the resulting ciders, and it has the lovely bonus of turning a process that used to take 3 people one very long day into two delightfully leisurely days for one person.

Rin and I sometimes worry that we’ve gotten too smart for our own good- all of the little efficiencies that we’ve added to streamline our cider making process are making us soft!”

🍏 As well as harvesting & pressing, the Wayside team has been hard at work labeling TWO NEW CIDERS!! We are just a little bit excited…

We”ll be pouring tastes at @ciderfeast next weekend in Brooklyn, Oct 3rd, at the Hootenanny @mapleshadefarm Oct 10th + 11th and at the Wayside Taproom on Oct 17th with the Big Release at our 10 Year Birthday Bash!! We can’t believe it’s been a decade of tapping, but you better believe we’re going PARTY.

🍎🍏 Got Apples?
We will take them!!

Hey y’all, Irene here.

Sorry it’s been a minute since we’ve updated you on the orchards and cider, it’s been a pretty crazy summer. We’ve got some exciting new ciders from last fall that we will be releasing soon, and this week we are dipping our toes into the 2026 harvest season.

It’s going to be another weird one, the apples a pretty hit or miss after that unfortunate frost in mid-April. We’re seeing a bit more miss than hit at a lot of our usual spots, so if you’ve got any good apples this year that you’d be willing to share with us let me know! taken in Wayside Cider by @wayside_cider
