Brocard's Antique Apple Orchard and Cider Mill, located in Sweet Home, Oregon, is a family-owned business that has been pressing apples since 1913. Led by Joe Brocard, Sr. and his son Joe Brocard, Jr., the Brocard family operates a 97-year old cider mill, using their own 213 varieties of apples grown on their orchard, to produce pure, sweet apple cider. They follow the principle of eating locally and sell their apples and cider at their farm, as well as at farmer's markets in Corvallis and Portland.
The cider pressing process at Brocard's is a fascinating sight, with apples being ground, pressed, and the juice collected in gallon jugs for visitors to sample and purchase. In addition to cider, they also produce apple cider vinegar. With their dedication to preserving heirloom apple varieties and providing fresh, tree-ripened apples, Brocard's Antique Apple Orchard and Cider Mill offers a taste of the past and a connection to local farming traditions.
