SUMMARY:A Producer’s Guide for Success: How to Produce Cider Styles from Standard to Specialty
DESCRIPTION:Award winning cider maker\, Charles McGonegal\, will share his years of experience and expertise on how to produce the different cider styles from Standard (Heritage\, Traditional\, and Modern) to Specialty (Fruited\, Botanical\, Spiced\, etc.). You will learn the nuts and bolts of producing each cider style: apple selection\, specific chemistry\, fermentation strategies\, yeast selection\, and nutrient management. The afternoon will host a panel discussion with experienced cider producers about the lessons they have learned as a cider producer: Deirdre Birmingham (The Cider Farm)\, Walker Fanning (Hidden Cave Cidery)\, Richard Ihrig (String Theory)\, and Charles McGonegal (AEppelTreow Winery).\n Register for this workshop here. \n \n\nCharles McGonegal\, Certified Pommelier started AEppelTreow Winery (pronounced “apple true”) in 2001 as an elaborate ploy to buy his wife more jewelry. Starting with a biochemistry degree from Michigan Technological University\, a modicum of food analytical chemistry experience\, a burgeoning relationship with a grower of heirloom apples\, and carboy of insanity\, Charles leveraged a basement cider operation into the smallest nationally distributed cider brand. Charles practices an esoteric branch of cidermaking\, growing traditional bittersweet European cider cultivars and perry pears and exercising the fine art of the methode champenoise. Charles has been an active participant in the developing American cider community\, as Vice President of the Great Lakes Cider and Perry Association\, judge-educator for the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition\, contributor to the BJCP Cider Style Guidelines and presenting at cider seminars in Michigan\, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In 2009\, AEppelTreow branched into the world of nano-distilling.\n The UW-Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems and Department of Food Science and have teamed up to bring you this workshop.

SUMMARY:Cover Crop Conversations at Hoffman Organic Farm In partnership with IDEA Farm Network & The Land Connection
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get together and talk cover crops while checking out fields with Paul Hoffman at Hoffman Organic Farm. We’re excited to host this field day in partnership with IDEA Farm Network and The Land Connection. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll focus on Paul’s organic field crops\, but this family farm has much more to offer including organic vegetables and grass-fed lamb and beef. Our cover crop conversations will include frost seeded red clover post wheat harvest\, pasture grasses with winter wheat\, and cash cover cropping for buckwheat seed production while including pearl millet and sunn hemp. We’ll also look at using solar corridors for growing winter squash interseeded into corn. We’ll also spend some time talking about The Land Connection’s Organic Grain Mentorship Program with Paul and Vickie. This mentorship program pairs experienced organic farmers with experienced conventional farmers looking to transition acres into organic to facilitate peer support and information sharing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis field day is free to attend and lunch is included\, but please register in advance to help us plan!
