The story of Metal House begins long before Kimberly Kae and Matt DiFrancesco landed in Esopus, NY in 2009, and before their son Bruno was big enough to pick apples and help around the cidery. Kim and Matt landed in Esopus eager to get back to the land. Matt was born and raised in an FLX grape-growing family (one of the very few organic growers in the region). Kimberly grew up enjoying the summer wheat harvests in her native Walla Walla, Washington. So, when presented with the opportunity to work with centenarian apple trees right in their new backyard in the Hudson River Valley, the couple jumped at the chance. 

In Spring 2024, the Metal House team was able to purchase an 3rd Generation apple farm in New Paltz and have moved their home and cidery operations from Esopus. They are still managing the orchards north in Esopus but are focusing efforts on this new project, their dream project, of having a farm of their own.
