Farm Walk Series: Cider Production, From Tree to Tap

Tilth Alliance and WSU collaborate for the fourteenth year of the Farm Walk program! The program was designed to transfer the hard-earned expertise of established farmers to the current and next generations of sustainable producers. Each Farm Walk features farmer-to-farmer education through a tour of farm or business, with guest experts on hand to share the most current research and resources.

Farm walks usually take place on Mondays, from noon-4 p.m. Registration is $15 for Tilth Alliance members and students and $25 for non-members.

Sixknot Cider is a certified organic cidery and orchard located in the Methow Valley. Sixknot produces three ciders year round and an additional three seasonally. Their cider is available bottled or on tap at over 100 stores and restaurants around the state. Learn why Sixknot chose to build a taphouse instead of developing a less expensive, canned product to compete for retail shelf space. Additional information will be provided by Bri Ewing, WSU Extension Fermentation Specialist, and Tianna DuPont, WSU Extension Tree Fruit Specialist.
