Les Pommes perdues

Producing a unique cider from a readily available but underutilized resource: wild apples

Cleared and settled relatively late, the Petite Nation region alternates between wooded hills and open spaces, where nature is slowly reclaiming land that was once used for agriculture.

Roadside verges, abandoned fields, and barn porches—all of these are ideal places for seeds scattered by wildlife to spread.

The Project Les pommes perdues aims to make the most of an underutilized natural resource by turning it into a product that authentically and proudly reflects the character of our region, the Petite Nation.

Sometimes bitter, sometimes sour, and often bruised, wild apples can hardly compete with our beautiful, crisp apples from the grocery store….

But what should we do with it, then? Make some excellent cider, of course!
