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.

Alongside his son Carl\, John is an enthusiastic water-skier and contributes to the local skier show team. His recent focus has shifted to managing AirBNB properties and operating a cider farm on the Waupaca Chain O’ Lakes\, drawing on self-taught knowledge and expertise from Cornell University\, Michigan State\, and UW-Madison. \nStarting as a hobby\, John’s interest in cider making grew into a passion\, leading him to establish a 400-tree R&D orchard in 2012 to experiment with high-density orchard practices and specialty cider apple varieties. By 2017\, he expanded his venture to a 10-acre commercial orchard\, cultivating a diverse selection of apple and pear varieties on an old dairy farm property. The commercial orchard varieties include Redfield\, Golden Russet\, Hewe’s Crab\, Harrison\, Campfield\, Graniwinkle\, Kronebush\, Calville Bland\, Bedan\, Tolman Sweet\, Twistbody Jersey\, Bulmer’s Norman\, Chisel Jersey\, Dabinett\, Sweet Coppin\, Brown Snout\, and Stoke Red. Perry pear varieties include Butt\, Gelbmoster\, Barland\, Normanische\, Yellow Huffcap\, Hendre Huffcap\, and Gin. There are 10 quince varieties still being tested. With a commitment to quality and innovation\, John faces the challenges of agriculture\, production\, and marketing in the burgeoning craft cider industry. \nSchedule of Events\nRed Sky Cider \nE1495 State Road 54\, Waupaca\, WI 54981 \n9:00 – Registration and coffee—Visit Exhibits \n9:15 – Welcome by WAGA President Joe Ferguson and introduction to Cidery by John Sturm \n9:30 – 9:45-Break/Transition to Field \n9:45 – UW-Extension Rotation \n    Rotating Field Session I—Crop load Management\, Thinning Strategies for unpredictable weather\,Amaya Atucha\, UW Madison Horticulture \n    Rotating Field Session II— Managing Wasps and Japanese beetles\, Christelle Guedot\, UW Madison Entomology \n    Rotating Field Session III—Modeling and Managing Fire Blight Leslie Holland\, UW Madison Plant Pathology \n11:45 – Lunch – included with Registration / Visit Exhibits \n12:45 – WI Division of Alcohol Beverages-ACT 73\, Permits required in order to produce wine/cider and how to legally sell it-Zac Dolan-Director of legal Services\, permitting and reporting \n1:15 – DATCAP-Licensing\, sanitation requirements\, food processing\, local restrictions\, zoning\, conditional use permits-Charlie Bloom\, RS-Food Scientist Advanced-Licensing\, Division of Food and Recreational Safety \n1:45 – Dervis H.

SUMMARY:UW-Madison Extension and Marbleseed Organic Field Day - Organic Apple\, Currant\, and Gooseberry Production
DESCRIPTION:Join Chris and Juli McGuire for a tour of Two Onion Farm to learn about organic apple\, currant\, and gooseberry production. We will visit their half-acre planting of currants and gooseberries\, established in 2020\, and view their ongoing trials of the cordon trellis method of growing these plants alongside more traditional untrellised\, bush plantings. We will also hear results of a recent on-farm trial on organic methods of controlling gooseberry Anthracnose leaf spot\, a troublesome disease in the Upper Midwest. We will then tour their apple orchard\, including trees ranging from 1-12 years of age\, and discuss site preparation and planting\, tree training\, groundcover management\, pest control\, variety selection\, and orchard equipment. We will hear how their apple growing methods evolved as their orchard changed from a small component of a diverse vegetable farm to their farm’s primary focus. \nTopics covered will include: \n\nOrganic fruit production\nOrchard management\nTrellising methods\nDisease control\n\nChris and Juli McGuire have operated Two Onion Farm since 2003. For the first fifteen years of their farm\, they grew up to five acres of diverse organic vegetables and marketed them through a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program in the Madison\, WI and Dubuque\, IA areas. In 2011-2012\, they began planting perennial fruits on their farm\, and they have gradually transitioned their farm to entirely fruit; they now raise 3 acres of apples and one-quarter acre each of currants and gooseberries\, all certified organic. They market their fruit through their own CSA program\, through other CSA farms\, to Madison-area grocery stores\, to local food processors\, and through their own line of applesauce and apple butter. They have been very active in the regional organic farming community\, taught numerous workshops and classes\, and conducted several on-farm research projects on organic fruit growing. \nThis Field Day is hosted in partnership with the UW-Madison Extension – Emerging Crops Coalition.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Planning Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Join CIAS and the students of Agroecology 702 Thursday April 8 for a special guest lecture by UW Professor Emeritus Jess Gilbert on his book Planning Democracy: Agrarian Intellectuals and the Intended New Deal. \n“Late in the 1930s\, The USDA set up a national network of local organizations that joined farmers with public administrators\, adult educators and social scientists. The aim was to localize and unify earlier New Deal programs concerning soil conservation\, farm production control\, tenure security\, and other reforms\, and by 1941 some 200\,000 farm people were involved. Even so\, conservative anti-New Dealers killed the successful program the next year. This book reexamines the era’s agricultural policy and tells the neglected story of the New Deal agrarian leaders and their visionary ideas about land\, democratization\, and progressive social change.” \nTo register: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwldOuoqDkjHdSFB8b9-jGt2xdCibG3DtIK
