“At turns candid and philosophical, in Uncultivated Andy Brennan - the founder of world-renowned Aaron Burr Cider - shares his decades-long experience working with wild apples, fine-tuning the art of cider making, and building an environmentally conscious business. Along the way, he reveals his faith in nature and belief in its unfailing ability to deliver us from our own mistakes.”
“Brennan is a stubborn, thoughtful, original, and his apple memoir is powered by inspiring verve and irreverence. ”
“Not only does Brennan explore the questions facing those of us who love to grow…apples, he also digs deeply into language, art, economics, and life itself. ”
“Smart, wise, raw, generous, unapologetic, and poetic. As delicious to drink in and as profound as the unique and artful ciders he produces. ”
Aaron Burr Cidery located in Wurtsboro, New York, is a small homestead farm dating back to the early 19th century. We grow cider-apples, which are different from eating-apples in the same way wine-grapes are different from table-grapes. We aspire to recreate the historic cider of early Americans through our fermenting techniques, apple selection and orchard practices, believing, as they did, that by trusting nature cider can be a highly sophisticated drink.
