The Ultimate Guide to Puget Sound’s Best Cideries | Eater Seattle
"Perched on the Puyallup River on a historic 7-acre farm and founded by brothers Richard and John Cockrell, this estate cidery produces small-batch, handcrafted ciders from its own apples, including traditional cider varieties like American Heirloom, Gravenstein, and Roxbury Russet. The picturesque orchard-centered property offers a teeny taproom serving a dozen cider varieties in flights or pints, with standouts such as pineapple-apple and valley raspberry ciders; Thursday nights bring music and local food trucks. The orchard itself is a highlight, with boughs trained in the espalier style (parallel rows of 2D apple trees), and visitors often recall sipping pineapple-crabapple cider on the deck while chickens run underfoot and Elwood, the resident black lab, moseys about." - Meg van Huygen
