A cider festival can't fix everything, but it's a start!

We think a day with this great cider community may help just a little. We hope you can join us for a celebration of great drinks, great people and some fun! Head to our site for tickets and all the info!

Cider Summit is pleased to support our friends in cider and much more! Please support Kristof Impact if you can!~

I have the best readers! Just two weeks after publishing my holiday giving guide in The New York Times Opinion Section, we've raised an astonishing $20 million for three extraordinary, evidence-based nonprofits. One eases famine in Sudan, one distributes donated medicines in Africa and one gets glasses to kids in early grades in the US who need them, so that they can study, read and thrive. All great organizations, and I'm awed by the readers response.

If you're looking for a good nonprofit to support this holiday season, or if you're looking to make a gift to your Aunt Mabel other than a scarf, then check out my giving guide https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/opinion/holiday-gift-guide.html . Or just go direct to the donation site: https://kristofimpact.org/ And thanks again to all who have donated. We're doing some good together this holiday season.
