Renegade craft distillers and outcast apple growers, we share a strange belief that apple brandy can in fact taste good. And maybe even has a place in your heart, imagination and liquor cabinet. Over 20 years of distilling, we have crafted the some of the best tasting spirits, hard cider and apple cider vinegar from apples, We invite you to our conspicuously old-fashioned apple farm and well-worn distillery tasting room for a taste or two of apple magic.

Growing apples since 1957

​Our little distillery is located at the iconic Golden Harvest Farm, established in 1957. It's a special place where the "lucky" apples go to become immortal, preserved forever in the form of our award-winning vodka, applejack, and brandy.

We established Harvest Spirits in 2007 in order to make the best use of our surplus apples, and in turn support our farming heritage and preserve agriculture in the Hudson Valley. We buy locally grown fruit from farms across New York to produce many of our products; over 600,000 lbs. of fruit per year are distilled in our 150 gallon kettle. 

Today, our vibrant distillery attracts visitors from far and wide to try  our acclaimed spirits. Coupled with the apple picking season, thousands of people visit the farm and distillery each season to enjoy a classic blend of science and artistry.
