Seen from the truck, it is a delivery. Seen from across Turrill Street, it is a church with a hundred barrels of fruit queued at the door. A million pounds of real fruit comes through this building in a year, more than a head can hold, so it helps when some stands on the sidewalk for a moment where you can count it.
(Pictured here: blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and plum.)

Gadget closes the workshop windows in early fall, not because the hustle in Berry Woods has stopped, but because the humming was getting out and the neighbors had started requesting specific songs.
Inside, the work goes on as it has, more than two pounds of real fruit to the gallon, which in each can comes to 16 raspberries and blackberries, give or take.

Bushel keeps the orchard a few bends past Ward's chapel on the Western Road, which makes him stout, scruffy, and permanently within reach of a flask of something mid-experiment, scientist by training and stubborn by temperament besides. The famous trick is the backpack, since years ago he worked out how to draw a current from a ripe apple, and the orchard has run on its own crop ever since. The press runs on apples. The wagon runs on apples. The string lights over the rows burn all night on a single Harrison, which Bushel will demonstrate for anyone who asks.
The can is a Spiced Apple Fruit Tart, 7.2 percent, and out in distribution as a 6-pack.

WHIRLIGIG IS HERE 🌀

Whirligig built her flying machine after a winter spent watching maple seeds come down. A few blades, one seat, and a lemon in the toolbox for crafty reasons. Today, she lands.

We took an old Midwest Fruit Tart recipe and rebuilt it into something bolder: blueberry and lemon at more than two pounds of real fruit per gallon. She pours a wild, deep hue and drinks bright all the way through. 8% ABV, 4-packs of 12 oz cans.

Pouring now at the taproom, and rolling out to shops and bars that carry our rotating seasonals. If they've got our seasonal lineup, Whirligig is inbound.

Blueberry. Lemon. Liftoff.

Join us to celebrate with dozens of community partners and engage and learn about the food forests in our region.

Gadget has been at it since the berries came in, working the crate down a handful at a time, and the arithmetic chalked on his workshop wall holds that a Midwest Fruit Tart carries better than two pounds of real fruit per gallon. That puts roughly three ounces of raspberries and blackberries in every can of this one, give or take whatever the woods felt like sending that week.

We absolutely adore bringing folks together to learn and share about local food and fruits. Last year's inaugural Fruit Fest was such a success that we're inviting everyone back to make it bigger this year.
Join us Saturday Aug 29 to dive into edible landscapes, invasive species, and everything in between. We'll have a walking tour, expert panel, booths from dozens of partners, and fresh fruit tarts made with freshly foraged fruit.

Does it feel early for the fall harvest? Jack is out in preparation of a busy season and to make sure your fridge is stocked and ready. When you're sharing our real pumpkin pie ale, be sure to remind all of your pals that pumpkins are fruits. 🥧

Fire Iron is back 🔥
Passion fruit, guava, and banana! More real fruit than you'd think fits in a can, fermented into a subtle balanced tart, and tropical all the way to the bottom of the glass. Summer's official Midwest Fruit Tart has returned.
