Greetings to all,
we will start with the main topic and that is a call for support. On the way to the event WHY 2025 in Netherlands we lost our car due to it's malfunctioning. In short the repair would be more expensive than is the value of the car. Importantly the car was very unreliable. For us the car is crucial for our activities especially with the upcoming season. We would like to ask you for your support by buying our products, financial support through donation and if possible investment through a loan. Option is also offering a car for an affordable price. Here we have created a page with more info and here is link to our PayPal and bank account details. The situation is critical so we really would like to thank you for any support!
What happened from our last news letter? We have been participating a lot at the summer events. Already last year we have done farmers market in Prague, Náplavka and now newly we are doing also Kulaťák. This year we have started to do also Craft Beer Festivals and Street Food Festivals. We will evaluate this decision by the end of the season, at the moment we are not sure.We are trying to continue to do two events during Saturday and if possible one during Sunday. To be able to do so, we have invested into two more draft systems and equipment needed. It cost us but we believe it was worth of it. We continue searching for friendly souls, who would help us in our activities. Our requirements are being in "touch" with fermentation and for example having practical experience with making kombucha. If possible we ask for language, it helps a lot, English is the most required. Crucial for us is that the person is able to help at least once or preferably twice per month or more on Saturday. To support these activities we are finishing up our storage in Prague. Good news are that we have managed to distill cidre from season 2023 and 2024, which makes us very happy. We also continue with production of syrups. So far we have done batches from red and black currants, from sour cherries and now we are preparing for myrobalan (Prunus myrobalan).
And now a bit of for seeing of the future. This year we plan to make a smaller harvest because we just don't have so many buyers and no funds to produce to much in stock. We will start our autumn harvest of apples in France after first weekend of October. Simultaneously we are planning to do harvesting and processing in Czech Republic, where we plan to ferment at the styles of "flying breweries" having our legal residence with some other cidrerie.
