Uncultivated by Andy Brennan
(2019) This book tells the story of cider through the experience of one modern cider-maker who is chasing the olde ways. Brennan’s prose may wonder–it does, he started as a painter–but the book teaches us just how wrapped up any truly artisanal product is with the need for beauty in the world. Uncultivated gives us an interesting look at the last twenty years of quality cider-making in the northeastern U.S.
