Applicant to lead and execute the project,

2. The project's purpose, dehvercibles, and expected outcomes and

3. A description of the general ttasks/aclivilies to he completed during (he (troject period to fulfill this goal

Samandia Pitarys and Daniel Hicks IV will be leading the UV-C Cider Purification System Initiative at

Sunnycrcst Farm, n project designed to create additional economic opportunities for apple farmers in

New Hampshire. Sunnycrest Farm will establish an agreement with the New Hampshire Department of

Agriculture, Markets, and Food to fund the purchase of specialized equipment to create a value-added

product that meets ail regulatory and loot! safety requirements necessary for farms and food

businesses in New Hampshire. This initiative rcllects a connnitrnent to enhancing the local agriculture

industry and.supporting the community.

Specifically, this initiative will establish a Wholesale Cider Division at Sunnycrest Farm for greater

distribution of cider products, ensuring that high-quality cider reaches a wider audience. It will cf eate

new markets by providing a platform for other New Hampshire apple growers to sell their produce.

This will not only benefit individual farmers but also strengthen the local economy. Creating a

centralized processing location will improve efficiency and collaboration within the state's cider-

inaking community.

Throughout the project period, Samantha and Daniel will procure all neces.sary equipment for the UV-C

Cider Purification System, ensuring thatthe process meets the highest.standards. Daniel, along with his

father, Dan Hicks III, will oversee the installation of the equipment Additionally, Samantha will

lactively connect with local farms and companies to establish valuable partnerships and accounts,

'fostering a collaborative environment.

SCOPE OF WORK

PLEASE DESCRIBE THE CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS INCLUDING SERVICES BEING OFFERED IN THE

GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS AREA.

Currenlly, Sunnycrest Farm operate.s a large pick-your-owi fruit operation, along with a farm mai'ket

that attracts cu-stomers seeking groceries. The market offers a variety of products, including our own

produce, unpasteurized cider, baked goods, and other items made in New Hampshire, as well as a

delightful ice cream stand. Additionally, we have a whole.sale market for fruits and vegetables that.supplies goods to mid and southern New Hampsliire, as well as parts of Massachusetts. Current

business operations include cleaning and distribution of fruits and vegetables and some value-added

product creation in the farm market bakery. However, Sunnycrest Farm does not currently process,

aggregate, or di.stribute apples from other farms.

PLEASE DESCRIBE THE SPECIFIC NEED THAT THE REQUESTED EQUIPMENT WILL ADDRESS.

Currently, Sunnycrest Farm docs not have the special purpose etjuipraent needed to pasteurize cider,

preventing us from entering the wholesale market. Installing a CiderSure.system will enable us to begin

wholesale cider pi oduction. Additionally, this will create opportunities for fellow farmers to sell their

surplus apples into this market for an additional value-added product. Other orchards in the region do

not currently have access to a. UV pasteurization system to process their apples into wholesale ready

cider. I'his leads to the potential for apples going to waste with no viable market after pick-your-own or

retail cider sales. Setting up a CiderSure in Londonderry, NH, will also reduce travel time for farmers

who currently travel long distances to have their cider pressed.

PLEASE DESCRIBE THE IMPACT THIS EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL PRODUCERS, MARKET

OUTLETS, AND MORE.

The installation of the CiderSure UV pasteurization system for apple cider will significantly benefit local

and regional producers and market outlets in several ways. Pasteurizing cider turns New Hampshire

produced apples into a value-added product and ensures a safer product for consumers, boosting

confidence and e.xpanding market potential. Sunnycrest Farm can engage in wholesale cider

operations, creating new markets for local farmers to sell their surplus apples and fostering a

cooperative ecosystem. Nearby farmers will have access to a new processing facility to have their cider

processed locally, reducing travel time and costs, which strengthens community ties. With pasteurized

cider, Sunnycrest will have a new product that can reach new markets, including grocery stores and

restaurants, increasing sales and visibility. By utilizing surplus apples, the.system promotes sustainable

farming and minimizes waste. Increased production can drive local economic growth, with the

potential for creating jobs in processing and distribution in the future, in summary, the CiderSure

system will enliance product safety, support local farmers, and contribute to the growth of the

agricultural community in the region.
