Mast Year Cider is a worker-owned company specializing in ciders made from wild or abandoned apples and pears foraged in Columbia and Walla Walla counties.
We began making cider in the garage in 2021, inspired by wild apple foragers and cataloguers on the East Coast. We studied some cider-making books, took long drives through the foothills, and ventured up into the Blue Mountains, where we discovered an abundance of wild and abandoned fruit trees. We collect this fruit by hand, ferment it using native yeasts, and bottle it unfiltered. We’re very excited for our inaugural releases coming in 2024!
