Understory is a 20 Acre Farm and Orchard, producing gourmet mushrooms, heirloom and specialty vegetables, apples, blueberries, Montmorency cherries, and apple cider on our 25 bushel cider mill.
Our fruit, vegetables, and mushrooms are all grown using natural methods and the farm is now Certified Organic through the USDA and MOFA. We are passionate about growing great food in a way that is sustainable and healthy for our farm, ourselves, and our community.
Our cider is made in the traditional way on a press that has been in use for over 100 years. We offer an increasingly rare view of our history with the apple in Michigan, using fruit that is grown without the use of synthetic materials and a press that is still cranked by hand. We are proud to be a part of the time-honored tradition of cider-makers in Michigan and strive to carry that torch by continuing to make a simply delicious product, free of preservatives or chemicals.
