Join Us for Lou Gehrig Day at Blue Barn Cidery – Sunday, June 1st
​
Though Major League Baseball marks Lou Gehrig Day on June 2nd, we're celebrating a day early—on Sunday, June 1st (because we're closed on Mondays). But the cause remains just as urgent.
​
ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a devastating neurodegenerative illness that robs people of their ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. There is still no cure.
​
That’s why we’re proud to support the ALS Association again this year. 100% of proceeds from Blue Barn draft products on June 1st will be donated to help fund research, raise awareness, and support those living with ALS.
​
Lou Gehrig Day is about more than baseball—it’s about honoring courage, inspiring action, and fighting for change. Let’s raise a glass for a good cause. We hope you’ll join us.
OUR WHY
If you visited our farm any day from 1987 through 2012, you probably met Craig. He could usually be found out in the orchards, or talking to customers, all with a big smile and a hearty laugh. When he wasn't farming, he loved coaching Greece Little League, golfing, skiing, or fishing with family and friends.
Craig passed away in 2012 after a courageous battle with ALS; a battle he fought with spirit and dignity, without ever losing his incredible sense of humor.
Craig dedicated 25 years of his life to his love of farming and the outdoors. We continue to remember Craig by collecting donations for the ALS Association, in hopes that someday science will find a cure for this devastating disease.
