Hello everyone,
We are starting a apple orchard and will be producing ciders and meads. We are set to close on our property the middle of next month and are trying to get everything in line to start modifications as soon as we can. I have our state and federal applications sent in but nothing is approved yet.
I wanted to get expert opinions on our layout. Keep in mind we are considered a farm winery. The 5 tanks are 2bbl's each. We will be kegging all cider and mead and storing it in the walk in cooler. Taps will be installed on the cooler wall and served from there. There is a 1000 square foot finished loft/upstairs above the office. Bottles will be sold as well.
Here is the layout and a few pictures of the building. We are on a total of 12.1 acres. Let me know what you think as we are newbs at this! (constructive critisim is appreciated!)
