About “Backyard” Cider


As members of Slow Food Russian River and apple grow- ers themselves, Hunter and Jolie Wade of Sebastopol’s Apple Sauced Cider aim to engage community members and give back by producing a “backyard” cider, a true expression of Sebastopol’s unique flavors. The cidery is looking for Sebastopol resi- dents’


backyard apples to be donated and blended into a community cider.


In the


middle of August, the cidery invites all those who can

About Apple Sauced Cider™ Apple Sauced Cider™ was founded in 2012 by apple farmers Jolie and Hunter Wade. The cidery aims to uti- lize all the local organic apples that it possibly can. In 2012, the cidery produced 1100 cases of cider and couldn’t meet the demand. In 2013, production will increase to 5,000+ cases of cider to help satisfy Sonoma County resi- dents’ thirst for a truly local beverage. In addition to mak- ing the cider, Apple Sauced Cider™ prides itself for being the ‘clean-up crew’


on the


founder’s fam- ily farm, Devoto Gardens Orchards,


and aim-


donate to drop off early-sea- son apple varieties, including gravensteins and others, into large bins at Devoto Gardens and Orchards in Sebastopol (Date TBA). The apples will be washed, pressed, fermented, and bottled by Apple Sauced


Cider™ .


The cidery will then donate


100% of the profits from


this batch. “There are many Sebastopol residents who have


gravenstein trees in


their backyard that produce more fruit than they know what to do with. People keep saying how ‘sad it is to see gravensteins fall and rot on the ground.’ Our goal is to get


people excited about


those apples by presenting them with an opportunity to donate the fruit for a good cause,” states
