Chimacum, WA
Team Favorite: Blush, Lavender Black Currant
The Finnriver crew farms and ferments on an 80 acre family farm and orchard in Chimacum, along a restored salmon stream on the north Olympic Peninsula of Washington. While the farm is remote, they are honored to be on the forefront of the Pacific Northwest hard cider revival and committed to producing both traditional and innovative hard ciders using premium, organic ingredients while maintaining an authentically farm-crafted and land-based operation.
They source organic apples from across Washington state and grow their own organic orchard of over 3000 trees, with 20 varieties of heirloom and traditional cider apple varieties. They aspire to serve the land with cider, by caring for the soils, watershed and community while crafting award-winning premium ciders. Finnriver Ciders are a tribute to old hard cider traditions but also offer an approachable, fresh perspective on the possibilities of the fermented apple. By striving to create deep-rooted and fruitful connections to the land they farm and to the living community as a whole, Finnriver has grown to a favorite artisanal cider.
