Every cider that Far West Cider creates is a product of their fourth-generation family farm in San Joaquin County, California. All of their apples and sometimes other fruit (hello cherries, pluots, & citrus) are harvested, and pressed into juice on their 100 year old ranch. That juice is then cared for throughout fermentation, cellaring, and bottling at their cidery on the waterfront in the city of Richmond CA. Their ciders are available for purchase in The Annex and at The Berkeley Natural Grocery Store
“One California fruit farm is doing everything it can to keep it in the family.
To make room for all three siblings of the fourth generation, Chinchiolo Family Farms has diversified business outlets with a cidery, U-pick orchard and stalls at some of the state’s best-known farm markets to capitalize on the San Francisco Bay Area’s locally sourced ethos.”
