APPLE UPDATE 2008 WE SURVIVED THE TRIGO FIRE!!! Forest thinning saved Manzano Mountain Retreat. We had no structures damaged and only minimal land damage on the back forest border of our property. It is now growing back nicely with beautiful native grasses due to all the recent rain. Thanks for all your offers of assistance and unwavering support. One casualty from the Trigo Fire was this year’s apple crop. The trees are undamaged, but the intense heat killed the tiny fragile apples that were on our trees during the fire. Next year we anticipate a bumper crop, however this year we will have no apples nor cider to sell. Updated September 9, 2008 For further information call us at 505-384-4467.

Apple Store & Festival For over 35 years Manzano Mountain Retreat has been a working apple ranch producing over 4,000 bushels of apples and 3,000 gallons of unbelievably delicious cider annually. Manzano Mountain Retreat is one of New Mexico's largest apple producer with over 34 varieties offering the State's largest variety of apples. Due to apple varieties ripening at different times, our apples are generally available from mid-September through mid-November. The fertile soil and rapid-changing daily temperatures make Manzano Mountain Retreat's apples some of the best tasting apples found anywhere in the world! APPLE STORE Manzano Mountain Retreat operates a country store, which is usually open from September through November, and offers not only apples and cider but also other local products like pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe and sweet corn when in season. MANZANO MOUNTAIN CIDER The blended Manzano Mountain Cider is the best apple cider you'll ever taste. MMR has recently installed Flash Pasteurizing equipment. Flash Pasteurizing uses a new technology to instantly raise the temperature of cider to 160 degrees, which destroys all unwanted, and potentially harmful germs, then rapidly cools the cider to 39 degrees all in less than 10 seconds. This method provides a safe product while not altering the taste one bit. Manzano Mountain Retreat cider making equipment is annually inspected and certified safe by the New Mexico Department of Health. APPLE MATURING DATES Click here to see the apple ripening schedule.
