Our Story
We believe in supporting local crafters, small businesses, and farmers – and in providing our community with quality products at fair, reasonable prices.
🍎 What Makes Our Store Special? 🍎
It all starts with our farm and apple orchard, located just behind the store. We tend several acres of apple trees, growing a mix of eating, pie, and cider apples.
In the fall, we press our own fresh apple cider right here on the farm — and some of that same delicious cider becomes our sensationally smooth apple cider vinegar, available in 375 mL and 700 mL bottles.
We’re proud to follow organic practices for pest control. While our apples may not look “perfect,” you can be confident they’re grown without pesticides — just pure, honest fruit from our farm to you. 🍏
Freshly Made Breakfast Sandwiches!
Our breakfast sandwiches are made to order — and customers say they’re awesome!
We start with a fresh toasted kaiser roll and build it your way:
🥓 Sausage, bacon, and/or ham
🍳 Two extra-large eggs
🧀 Melted American cheese
🧈 A touch of real butter for that perfect flavor
Top it off with sriracha, real maple syrup, or your favorite condiment — and you’ve got the best breakfast around!
🍪 Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth! 🍦
Craving something sweet? We’ve got you covered!
Enjoy fudge, home-baked cookies, pies, cake, brownies and other baked goods — all made fresh in our on-site commercial kitchen.
From April through mid-October, treat yourself to our extra creamy soft serve ice cream — available in cones, cups, floats, and our famous extra-large homemade cookie ice cream sandwich that’s out-of-this-world delicious! 😋
🎨 Awesome Hand-Made Crafts! 🎨
Looking for something truly unique? Come explore our collection of hand-made crafts — each one created with care and creativity.
🪶 We make many ourselves, including:

Plus, we feature one-of-a-kind pieces from talented local crafters.
You won’t find these treasures anywhere else! 💛
💰 Low Prices & High Quality 💰
We work hard to keep our prices as low as possible without ever compromising quality.
Some folks have told us we don’t charge enough — but our goal isn’t just profit. It’s about serving our community, supporting local jobs, and respecting that your dollars are hard-earned.
🐾 We’re Pet Friendly! 🐾
Well-behaved dogs (and cyclists!) are always welcome in our store.
We proudly stock locally-made, high-quality treats for both dogs & cats.
As dog (and sheep!) owners ourselves, we know how much pets mean to their families — and we’re always happy to see them stop by with you. ❤️
🪧Onward & Upward!
This marks our 9th year on this retail adventure, and what a journey it’s been! It hasn’t been without early mornings and hard work, but with the dedication of our amazing staff and the support of our wonderful community, we are truly blessed. 💛
We hope to be here for many more years — as long as you, our friends and customers, will have us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story.
We are located at 661 River Rd; Rotterdam, NY – on Rt 5S across from the Rotterdam Kiwanis boat launch. It’s at exit 1A off of 890 and just off Thruway exit 26.
