CITY FRUIT
This delicious cider is made in collaboration with City Fruit, a local Seattle non-profit promoting urban fruit to nourish people, build community, and protect the climate.
City Fruit Cider features more than 40 apple varietals harvested by City Fruit’s dedicated volunteers and pressed in house by our cider making team.
Proceeds from the sale of City Fruit Cider directly benefit City Fruit programs and the urban food system.
City Fruit Cider is a little different each year depending on the apple varietals and the quantity of apples harvested. The apples come from Seattle residents’ homes with registered fruit trees and shared food forests, all harvested from Seattle’s urban canopy.
6.7 % ABV
Ingredients: fresh pressed Washington apples, cane sugar
Seattle Cider Co’s partnership with City Fruit began in 2014. City Fruit began dropping off apples at our SODO cidery in an effort to eliminate waste from their annual harvest. In 2015, Seattle Cider was able to “upcycle” these apples into a cider.
When we started working with City Fruit in 2015, we took City Fruits’ harvest viability from 68% to 98% by creating a product that benefited from the use of crab apples and apples that were not fit for donation to local food banks and couldn’t be used for City Fruit’s CSA program. Our largest remaining harvest was a little over 9 tons of upcycled fruit in 2016.
Since the beginning of the partnership, Seattle Cider has made and released six separate vintages of City Fruit Cider, and donated over $15,000 in cash donations to support City Fruit’s continued programming. Additionally, Seattle Cider provides in-kind cider donations to City Fruit board events and City Fruit’s annual City Fruit Celebrates fundraising gala.
