Two K Farms Takes Top Honors at Harvest Challenge Competition 🏆 ✨

The Harvest Challenge judges wines from the same region, belonging to a specific appellation, grown in similar weather conditions, soil, and grapes to crown the best wines within their respective growing region.

Best of the Best, Best Sparkling Wine, Best of Leelanau Peninsula AVA (American Viticultural Area) were awarded to Two K Farm’s 2022 Bubbly Riesling by top writers, winemakers, and even “The Sommelier to the Stars” Christopher Sawyer. Garnering a score of 97, judges stated tasting notes of “mouthwatering citrus and honeysuckle”: “lingering tropical finish”: “perfect bubbles”; and “well-balanced.”

A record number of entries were submitted to this year’s competition, spanning the globe from Argentina to California. Wines within the same appellation are judged, eliminating cross-regional competition, allowing the inherent qualities of the wines to shine without outside influences. According to Harvest Challenge spokesman, Christopher Sawyer, “The Harvest Challenge is a judge’s dream come true. Beyond varietal category and price point, this one-of-a-kind competition is based on appellation instead of mass-production. The end result is more definition of the wines made with grapes inside the boundaries of a specific viticultural area and distinct flavors that have helped wines rise to the top of the scale in the global marketplace.”

Thanksgiving Dinner Cider Pairings ➡️

🦃 The main event deserves a cider worthy of its focal point at the Thanksgiving meal. Kingston Black, dry, bright acidity pairs well with the turkey’s rich, savory herbs. Creating a combo that is unmatched, ensuring you’ll have room for seconds.

🥘 Herbed stuffing can be dense and rich, requiring some acidity to cut through the heavy nature of the dish. Spitzenburg fits the bill, a well-rounded semi-dry cider with slight herbaceous notes, complementing the earthy flavors.

🫛 A classic dish, green bean casserole, needs a cider with slight acidity to counter the richness of the mushrooms and fried onions. Old World’s champagne like bubbles complement the green vegetable, while also being light-bodied enough, so you don’t feel overly full.

🥔 Potatoes are the perfect starchy dish for thanksgiving, adding cheese, puts it over the top. Harrison, an off-dry cider with balanced acidity cuts through the saltiness and textured nature of the dish.

🍞 Dinner rolls can be a perfect utensil for soaking up cranberry sauce, gravy and all the other fixings. A sweet cider like Macoun complements the buttery rolls, contrasting the soft, fluffy profile with the appropriate amount of carbonation for each bite.

🥧 Apple pie, deserts in general pair well with sweeter “New World” style ciders like DDOC. The fruity and sweet flavors in the desserts complement the fruity and sweet flavors in cider. The acidity in cider also helps to balance out the richness of desserts, making them one of the best food pairings for cider.

Get your last minute cider in the tasting room this Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Last batch of apples for the fruit stand 🍎 🍏➡️

𝙀𝙨𝙤𝙥𝙪𝙨 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙯𝙚𝙣𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙜
It was discovered early in the 18th century near Esopus, Hudson, New York and is reputed to have been a favorite apple of Thomas Jefferson, who planted several of the trees at Monticello.

In 1922, Ulysses Hedrick described Esopus Spitzenburg (sometimes simply called “Spitzenberg”) as “one of the leading American apples ... [A]bout the best to eat out of hand, and very good for all culinary purposes as well.” In particular, it is a good apple for baking pies and is also valued as a cider apple.

𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙩
It was discovered in New York State between the years 1800 and 1849 from a seedling of an English russet apple cultivar. Fruit heritage organisation Orange Pippin suggest the flavour and apple shape indicate the parent may have been Ashmead’s Kernel.

Its flesh is fine in texture, juicy and crisp. Early in the season, Golden Russets exhibit an attractive, though extreme, tartness that makes them an excellent eating apple; if left to ripen long, their flavor grows quite sweet.

Sunflowers, sunshine, a cider in hand—what else can you ask for?! 🌻 ☀️ ✨ #twokfarms #cider #nomi #traversecity #sunflowers

Tending to our apple trees is an all-year affair, not just when leaves and apples are hanging from the branches. This is the time of year for giving the trees a much needed haircut, before bud-break in the spring. Pruning the trees helps air flow in the orchards, allowing light to reach all parts of the tree. This results in fewer pests, helps to put vigor back into the trees, and keeps them cropping consistently. Branches are cut at an angle, like the pitch of a roof so that water runs off and doesn’t sit on the surface, and we keep the cut as small as possible so that the healing time is quicker, making the tree less vulnerable to diseases. The wood 🪵 is mulched into the ground by chopping the branches up with a flailing mower, breaking down over time, returning to the ground where the trees were grafted. That’s the #grafttoglass difference!

✌🏻 Suds & Snow, it was a blast! Thanks for hosting the annual fun in the woods @sudsandsnow @timberridgeresort. See y’all next year!

We are taking a break. The tasting room will be closed January 4th thru the 11th. Club members—please email or call/text Carl, if you’d like to pick up your winter release during this time ➡️ [email protected] (231) 866-6284 #twokfarms #winter #hours #january #leelanau #traversecity #upnorth

The Story

History of the Farm

In the early 1800’s, many families from the East Coast travelled to northern Michigan in search of new opportunities. Francis Blackman, one of the early settlers of Leelanau County and a soldier in Pennsylvania for the “War of 1812”, was the first to be granted farmland for his military service. Blackman sold the farm to Robert Lee (not to be confused with General Robert E. Lee) a veteran of the Civil War who first purchased a portion of the farm in 1855. He was later granted additional surrounding land for his Civil War military service. Lee eventually owned nearly 400 acres of land that extended to the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay. In the subsequent 150 years, much of the land was parceled and sold off. The Lee family continued to farm the remaining farmland until the early 2000’s. The farm barn which still stands is the only remaining original building on the farm. It can be seen from M-22 north of the farm entrance as you enter the farm.

Beginning of Two K Farm

K & K Farms Group purchased the 80-acre farm from the Lee family estate in 2010. It was easy to envision its great potential. The farm is in a glacier valley with remnants of a dune that once extended to the bay. Much of the farm was dormant for decades with only a few acres planted with corn and hay, and in earlier years, cherries and potatoes. The farms topography changed forever in the 1940’s when M-22 was redirected along the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay. The predominant drumlin dune that once flowed through most of the farm was partially removed to build the new roadway. In 2017-2018, the dune sand was once again moved to create the new processing building and the tasting room areas. Still visible today are the remnants of the old dune that ran from the tasting room to the shoreline of the bay.

Over a 5-year period, a unique palate of heritage cider apple varieties were chosen and planted. These heritage apple trees can trace their roots back to Great Britain, France and early colonial America. A smaller portion of the farm was selected for wine grapes but only in the most ideal sites. The farm has over thirty-five varieties of heritage cider apples and has one of the largest plantings of heritage high-density apple trees in the Midwest. The first small harvest of apples and grapes was in 2016, which was sold to other Leelanau wineries.

On September 21, 2018 Two K Farms tasting room opened. The tasting room is nestled high on one of the farms dune hills with a panoramic view of West Grand Traverse Bay. Every point of the tasting room and outside patio offers a view of water, terra, vineyards and apple trees. Three steps down on to the grassy knoll from the tasting room deck is our all season fire-pit. If it is cool out, there is sure to be a blazing fire.

Two K Farm is managed by George and Max Koskela (the K & K brothers) who are dedicated to finding and cultivating the right fruit varieties for the crafting of exceptional styles of hard cider and wine. You will find them everywhere around the farm, walking through the orchards or vineyards, checking on the processing facility or in the tasting room visiting with guests. The tasting room offers every visitor an opportunity to taste the estate hard ciders and wines. On tap are a variety of French, English, American, sangria, hopped, and barrel aged style ciders. Several more varieties of ciders will be introduced the summer of 2019. All hard ciders and wines are produced on-site in the farms processing facility just north of the tasting room. In the first year of producing hard cider and wine, Two K Farm has won several awards around the country for both the cider and wine. It is the commitment of Two K Farm to create hard cider and wine with the purest of ingredients, great sun, fresh water, and knowledge of the fruit and environment. We believe in a “farm to glass” philosophy!

Experience Awaits

Two K Farms’ Tasting Room is nestled between rows of pine trees with an outdoor patio overlooking a breathtaking view of West Grand Traverse Bay. A high ceiling with exposed beams and exquisite antique chandeliers gives the indoor seating a rustic feel but elegant feeling– a great option for those with a large group or who wish to schedule a private event or party.

If you are just enjoying a drive along Leelanau Scenic Heritage Route, stop by and enjoy a taste of Leelanau at Two K Farms. Cheers!
