The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:

While many cideries have jumped into the cider barrel in order to cash in on a growing segment of the beverage industry, a special few get involved out of sheer necessity. And it is easy to taste the difference!

Among these apple-first picks is JK Scrumpy, a family of ciders that has been produced on a family-run farm in Michigan has using the same traditional and well-tested recipe (featuring their own organic fruit and wild yeast) for over 150 years.

While the apple harvest was once a regular cash crop, cheap concentrates and other competition have made it difficult for many independent farmers to keep the barn doors open. Fortunately, the Scrumpy team has been able to expand upon their original recipe to include new taste sensations that are pretty sensational!

From their English-inspired original and the border-crossing berry blend called Northern Neighbor to the pear-forward apple-infused Peary and a set of sweet and spicy honey and ginger-mixed switchel’s to a set of seasonal ciders that take the best of what each harvest has to offer, each hand-filled and hand-labeled bottle is a true labor of love and even the individual serving-sized bottles come with corks so you can savor the cider and the flavor.

So the next time you want to truly enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor, open a Scrumpy’s and see what good can come from putting the family line in front of the bottom line.
