Collages- Tieton Community days 2010

Boy did we have fun at the Highland Community Days parade on Saturday.
Many thanks to all who came out and cheered for our float - driven by none other than ...Marcus the cider maker and family- and followed by Marco and Miguel from the Loony Tunes jerk crew. It was a blast! Dancing horses, many bagpipes and kilts, firetrucks galore, apple blossom queens and of course the mayor of Tieton.
The open house at the cidery was a smash, Sharon and Craig toured folks around the press and tank room and much cider was poured, tasted and brought home.
Cindy and Fred manned the beer garden for most of the afternoon, and did their best to keep the cider flowing. The Black Cherry Apple was born- half Dark Cherry Stout from our neighbors at Horse Heaven Hills Brewing and half TCW Cherry cider.. you have to try it to believe it.
Mark your calenders for next year!

Cider Orchard Spring 2010

The 11 acre Harmony Cider orchard has been blooming.
42+ varieties of cider apples and perry pears and more in the works. Craig has been busy honing on the best 7-15 varieties to grow on the hillside as well as up at the North ranch.

A perfect blend of bittersweet, bittersharps, sharps and sweet cultivars will assist with good fermentation and produce a lovely traditional cider.
