Johnny Appleseed was an American pioneer nurseryman who planted apple trees in large parts of the eastern United States and Ontario. He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind, generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance that he attributed to apples.  Source: Wikipedia

About 10 years ago Peter Gillitzer, along with his partners Aaron and Adam, launched Milk & Honey Ciders.  They planted heirloom and traditional cider apples on a plot of land located on County Road 51 southwest of St. Joseph.  They focus on interesting, dry, highly aromatic, and tannic ciders made in the rolling hills of Stearns County.

Next Thursday The Current is bringing Happy Hour to Milk & Honey Ciders.  They are bringing Americana artist Clare Doyle who was named First Avenue’s “Best New Band of 2023”. Music in Minnesota hailed her as “a fresh perspective in emotional storytelling”.  This free event starts at 4pm at goes until 7.  I hope to see you there.   www.milkandhoneyciders.com
