Buy Cider via Sail Freight
WELCOME, SAIL FREIGHT FANS
Stand by for news on the 2025 Schooner Apollonia Cider Sail Freight Club.
Inspired by CSAs but with a sail freight twist, each of Schooner Apollonia club box contains seasonal and sometimes even exclusive ciders delivered to ports by wind-powered sailboat and solar-powered cargo bike. We are all about reducing fossil fuel use and carbon emissions! This club program is in conjunction with, and parallel too, Schooner Apollonia’s BoatBox subscription. Add it on to your BoatBox order, or choose to go exclusively cider.
Each cider box will include a curated selection of three bottles from Greenpoint Cidery, including classic favorites, limited seasonal releases, and experimental ciders, sometimes in an exclusive for club participants, plus a zine talking about the ciders, and a botanical clipping from the farm. Boxes will cost approximately $70-75, which includes tax and a small fee to support Schooner Apollonia. Full season members get a 10% discount on the normal website price, and half season members receive a 5% discount. All members also receive a 10% discount code to use on other orders throughout the year. Although you sign up now, you won’t be charged until the week your order is packed onto the boat. Don’t worry: I’ll email you in the weeks leading up to shipment to remind you of your order and even allow you to customize your box.
The CSA-style club model allows me to delve deeper into exploring and foraging for local fruits, herbs and flowers to add to my ciders and wines, and guarantees you access to some of these extremely limited releases, while also allowing you to support carbon-neutral shipping along the Hudson River. Join us as we walk backward into the future, using historic, community-based, low-impact approaches to help us shape our vision of the world.
