Krogkildegård Juicery

Have your apples pressed at Krogkildegård

At Krogkildegård in Tranderup, Ærø’s apples, pears and quinces are given a new lease of life as delicious juice. The farm’s former cowshed is now home to a small juicery, born from a simple idea: With so many fruit trees on the farm and across the island, it makes perfect sense to put all that lovely fruit to good use rather than let it go to waste.

Bring your own fruit

If you have apples or pears growing in your garden, bring them to Krogkildegård and have them pressed into juice. That way, you can enjoy the taste of your own harvest long after the last fruit has been picked.

The juicery accepts batches of 60 kg or more. Both freshly picked fruit and windfalls are welcome, as long as they are fresh, firm and free from rotten spots.

At the farm, the fruit is sorted, pressed and heat-treated before the finished juice is packed in bags with accompanying boxes. This gives the juice a long shelf life, and you can save the boxes to use again for next year’s harvest.

If you have quinces, these can also be pressed by prior arrangement.

A taste of Ærø from the little farm shop

You don’t need to bring your own fruit to take a taste of Ærø home with you. In the farm’s little shop, you’ll find Krogkildegård’s own Ø-Most, made from apples and pears grown on the island.

Combine your visit with a relaxing break at Krogkildegård’s cosy café, where you can enjoy coffee and homemade cakes surrounded by art and greenery. A lovely stop on your journey around Ærø, offering a taste of the island’s locally grown produce.
