Organic - 100% Salt Spring-grown - No sugar added, ever
Ciders made by and for lovers of authenticity.
Our organic orchard is is at the centre of everything we do. We grow more than 425 heritage & connoisseur apple varieties right here on our property and make all of our ciders in our modest Ciderworks building, which overlooks the orchard. Our approach is to make cider with minimal intervention, never adding sugar and allowing our distinctive apples to express themselves. While we use modern equipment, our approach is traditional, as are our ciders.
Our shop/tasting room at 529 Fulford-Ganges Road on Salt Spring Island is open open every day from 12 Noon to 6:30 p.m. between May long weekend and Thanksgiving weekend, then Fridays through Sundays, plus holiday Mondays, for the rest of the year, from 12 Noon until 5:30 p.m.

Our reddest Red Rebel yet! This good-natured cider gets most of its colour from a sizeable dollop of organic blackberries harvested from our property. The apples are a blend of modern, international and red fleshed varieties. Perky, sweet and easy to drink.

One of our more substantial ciders. 365 is made from a blend of all of our 450+ varieties, half wild fermented outdoors and the other half fermented in a more controlled manner. The result is a full-bodied, dry cider with a hint of funk.

A dry-hopped scrumpy-style cider
By popular demand! We infused this dry, scrumpy-style cider with organic Mt. Hood hops grown by Ron Puhky and Kim Hanson at Salt Spring’s Grandview Farm. The hops add ever-so-subtle floral and herbal aromatic notes to this full-bodied cider. We consider this our secret weapon in an ongoing campaign to turn more craft beer lovers onto cider.

Our orchard is best known for our many heritage varieties, but equally significant are our modern connoisseur apples. We blended modern varieties with heritage European apples for this year's Sky Blue. Zippy and refreshing with a dollop of sweetness.

The names are as memorable as the cider they made: Brown Snout, Grindstone, Foxwhelp and many more. You never want to bite into a bitter cider apple, but they sure make great cider. This very dry, full bodied cider has colour, body, bitterness and astringency.
