2020 Harvest Report
The 2020 harvest marks the fourth year of sourcing apples for ANXO ciders and we want to share our excitement over what has been a tremendous season.
To produce our sugar-free #applesonly cider we buy at harvest the best apples grown by farmers we know, and this year we got quite a bounty! We're still designing the ciders we will create from them in 2021, but at this time we know the cast of apples we will be working with. Here's a recap of our 2020 Harvest:
