Our Story

David & Rachel Barnard, Ed & Cathy Nyberg

Our story begins with a love for family, nature, and a simpler way of life. We left behind the fast pace of Corporate America in 2021 to build something lasting for our children—something grounded in hard work, fresh air, and the beauty of Northern Michigan. As a three-generation, family-run Farm and Cidery, we pour our hearts into every part of what we do: growing apples, crafting cider, and creating a space where people feel truly welcome.

We love working with our hands, building with purpose, and sharing the richness of Michigan’s outdoors with others. When you visit, you’re not just a guest—you’re part of our extended family.
