The Ultimate Guide to Puget Sound’s Best Cideries | Eater Seattle

"More of a compound than a single farm, this family-owned cidery and orchard is surrounded by rolling farmland and native planting and contains pear and apple orchards, a full organic kitchen, indie food stands and trucks, a taproom and cider garden, tasting tours, a large wild field for kids and dogs, and a busy live-music calendar. The taproom typically features two craft beers and 12 of the cidery's own ciders (many of which are not commonly available in stores) and the bottle shop carries brandywines and special releases such as the ruby-red Cherry Bough with cedar accents and Cidermaker Series bottles like the keeved, hay-scented Quimper. Notable on-tap and limited-release offerings include Saffron Solstice (Oregon-grown saffron, fennel, and anise) and Tideline (made from golden russet apples, Nootka rose hips, and Grand fir tips in partnership with Hama Hama Oyster Company). If heading back toward the city, the Chimacum Corner Farmstand across the street is recommended for heirloom veggie and flower starts, organic groceries, and grab-and-go snacks." - Meg van Huygen
