Locally Grown, Safely Handled

When you choose a product with the NYS G&C seal, you are choosing apples and juices grown, harvested, packed, and processed right here in New York, including at Five Branches. We participate in USDA GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) audits, ensuring food safety at every step from orchard to bottle. This not only protects the health of our community and families but also gives you peace of mind every time you shop.

Sustainability Rooted in the Soil

NYS Grown & Certified requires farms to complete Tier 2 or higher of the Agricultural Environmental Management program every three years. At Five Branches, we see this as more than a requirement. It is a mission. We steward our land with care by managing soils, conserving water, renewing biodiversity, and reducing environmental impact. Our orchard is built to thrive for generations, and the seal helps us share that story.

A Mark That Matters for You and for Us

The NYS G&C seal is more than a label. It is a storytelling tool that stands out on shelves, farmers markets, and menus. Research shows that New York consumers are more likely to recognize, trust, and purchase products bearing this seal, with many willing to pay more for them. By displaying it proudly on our juices and orchard signage, we are not just showing what we stand for. We are connecting you with where it came from and inviting you to taste the difference that care and integrity make.

Our Passion in Every Sip

At Five Branches, we have poured our passion for the land into every bottle of juice we press. We believe that great cider and juice begins with thriving orchards, ethical practices, and meticulous care. The NYS G&C program helps us tell that story from soil to sip so you can taste the quality, feel good about your choice, and know that you are supporting local agriculture that matters today and for generations to come.
