Our cidermaking is a conversation with place, an interdependent relationship between plants and people. The apples we harvest come from hundreds of dry-farmed apple trees planted over one hundred years ago by settlers originating from Japan, Europe, Hawaii, and many other places.

Our work with these tall, old trees is year-round—from winter pruning to shaking apples down at harvest—and our care for them is also recognition of their special role within the ecosystem of these islands, known as North and South Pender Islands by settlers, and SDȺY¸ES by the SENĆOŦEN-speaking W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations.

Rare apples and deep roots: these ciders are the most vivid expression of place that you can find in our region.
