Located within its San Leandro warehouse is Hidden Star Orchards' 2000 square foot commercial kitchen and cidery. Adhering to a zero waste ideal all culled fruit is transformed into value added products through processes of juicing, fermenting, saucing and drying. Any leftover fruit scraps or pressings are donated to a local pig farmer.
