After six generations of growing apples, we decided it was time to start drinking them! You could say the apple business drove us to drink, but the reality is that the fruit industry drives us to create. Coming from a long line of tree fruit innovators who pioneered new varieties, orchard systems, handling techniques, and storage methods since our great-great-great grandparents moved to Wenatchee more than a century ago, it is only natural that we would be at the forefront of the resurgence of those most American of beverages, hard cider and applejack.
