Happy Thursday, friends!! ✨

Here’s what’s happening this week at South Porch Cider:

📚 TONIGHT:
Week 3 of our trivia series kicks off! You can still jump in—fly solo or gather a team of up to four. You’ll have all weekend to stop in to do your quiz, test your knowledge, and support our Grundy Center students.

We’ll also be hosting a meeting in the backroom at 6:00pm. So please respect their space and sit up front or at the bar. Crystal doesn't bite. (the same cant be said about our toddler. 🙄)

🎶 FRIDAY:
A low-key night at the cidery… just good drinks, good vibes, and room to unwind.

🗳️ SATURDAY:
At noon, we’ll welcome Lindsay James, current Iowa House Representative and candidate for U.S. Congressional District 2, for a visit here in Grundy Center.
Then Saturday night… you know the drill: Pizza Night! 🍕🔥

It’s canning day for our Thanksgiving feasts! Stop in and stock up on all the canned goods you’ll want for your holiday meals.

Happy Saturday, friends!! 🍕✨

You know what day it is… PIZZA DAY! And today we’re giving a massive shoutout to our seasonal stunner: the Homestead Harvest Pizza.

Sure, we’ve got your classics — Pepperoni, Sausage, Cheese, Supreme — but let’s be honest… the monthly specialty pizzas are where Luke’s brilliant (and slightly chaotic 🤣) foodie imagination truly shines.

So what makes the Homestead Harvest so magical?
Let’s break down this cozy, holiday-inspired masterpiece:

🔥 Start with your choice of thin or regular crust (trust us… go regular).
🌿 We season the crust edges with our herb-salt blend and spread a layer of sweet potato sauce.
🧀 Add our mozzarella blend, then pile on roasted turkey breast, sweet red onions, stuffing, plus a sprinkle of sage & thyme.
🍕 Bake to golden perfection…
✨ THEN finish it with cranberry sauce and crispy French onions on top.
🦃 And the best part? A side of turkey gravy for drizzling, dunking, or straight-up savoring.

It’s cozy. It’s festive. It’s downright delicious.
And it’s here for November AND December, so come get in the holiday spirit early!

🍽️ Dine in or carry out — pizzas are served 5:30–9:00 pm.
