Our Community Cider Project

Our Rodeo City Cider Community Cider Project is a collaborative effort with a tasty outcome. Every year, we create a ‘community cider’ from apples collected from folks all over Kittitas Valley! Nate, our Cider Maker, blends these collected apples to create the ‘Rodeo City Community Cider’, unique to that year. In celebration of this cider, we donate $2,500 to a chosen Kittitas County organization. 

Our winner for the 2022 Rodeo City Community Cider was Kittitas County CattleWomen! Founded in 1953, the CattleWomen are involved in promoting the beef industry and their overall way of life. CattleWomen started a memorial fund in 1991, and in 2009 they decided to start utilizing this fund to support women who are enrolled to receive a major or minor in an ag-related field in a technical, trade school or University. Find out more about this amazing organization here.

Thank you to all that celebrated this delicious project with us and contributed to next year’s cider! These donations help support community programs like our 2022 winner, Kittitas County Cattlewomen and our 2023 winner, The Trellis Center!

We are happy to gift $2,500 is The Trellis Center! This incredible organization fosters a sense of purpose and belonging in teens and adults with developmental disabilities and they provide an environment where these individuals can continue to learn, grow, have social relationships, and work toward independence.
