Our Orchards

RAW Cider works with local farmers to produce quality cider specific apples. These apples are grown, harvested, and fermented to achieve optimal flavor – right in our back yard!

We hunt for good and interesting fruit in both Oregon and Washington. Some may have been foraged from 30 ft wild trees found off trail. Others may have been harvested from a 50 year old pear orchard overlooking Mt. Hood, and still other fruit is acquired through small local producers who are growing something special. Our flavors are achieved through thoughtful blends of these cider specific fruit. The diversity of the fruit itself peeks through every sip of our product.
