NW cidermakers
CHIMACUM — Ten cidermakers from the Northwest Cider Association were selected to travel to England and France for an educational mission in spring 2017.
Chimacum’s Finnriver Farm & Cidery is one of the 10 selected, according to a news release.
The other nine are: Seattle Cider Company, Steelhead Cider, Tieton Cider Works, Pear Up, Liberty Ciderworks, Cider Riot!, Bauman’s Cider, 2 Towns Ciderhouse and Bull Run Cider.
Supported by a specialty crop grant from the Washington Department of Agriculture to increase the competitiveness of ciders made in the Northwest, these skilled cidermakers will dive deep into one complicated technique called keeving.
The group will spend 12 days in May visiting fellow cidermakers in Normandy, Brittany and western England, learning about traditional apple varieties and discovering new techniques to make natural cider.
As part of the project, the NWCA will also invite keeving experts from Europe to visit Washington state to teach keeving in the fall of 2017.
