About
Our Story
Melanie and Jake Eelman, rooted in Nova Scotia’s farming, returned from central Canada with a dream. In 2017, they transformed 21 acres in the Annapolis Valley into Beausoleil Farmstead, a name inspired by the land’s natural radiance. Their boutique cidery and winery, born from sustainable practices and cellar innovation, now flourishes with unique grape varieties and heirloom apples—a testament to the Eelman family’s commitment to their heritage and the art of fine ciders and wines.
