After visiting PEI on many occasions they made the leap over the pond in July 2014. They decided to turn a hobby into a business and make cider. Cider is an alcoholic drink made from fermented apple juice, commonly known as Hard Apple Cider in Canada.
Resilience and determination ensued and after more than 3 years they made their first batch of artisan craft cider, Summer 2018. While waiting for the apple trees to grow they used this time wisely and honed their craft from professionals. Attending Cornell University and achieving NACM certifcation (National Association of Cider Makers), which then led them to their artisan craft making adventure.
