As Ontario’s apple trees awaken and prepare for another fruitful growing season, cider enthusiasts across the province are rejoicing in the delightful array of craft ciders hitting the market. These ciders, crafted from last year’s bountiful apple harvest, are a testament to the region’s commitment to producing exceptional drinks. If you’re an aficionado of the apple’s liquid transformation or simply looking to explore the world of cider, there’s no better way to dive into this delectable realm than with a subscription to Savvy In-Cider Picks. One of the spotlighted cideries in the Savvy In-Cider Picks subscription is Ernest Cider, situated approximately an hour north of Toronto.
Ernest Cider: Crafting Excellence on a Family Farm
Eight years ago, Steve and Michelle Faris embarked on a remarkable journey to transform a portion of their family farm into a cider haven. Michelle Faris, co-owner of Ernest Cider, shares their story: “We decided to start our own cider business on Steve’s family farm because cider is rooted in agriculture, and that’s the cornerstone of the Faris Family. We care deeply about the land and our environment, and we firmly believe in the old saying ‘grow where you are planted,’ and for us, that’s in Bradford West Gwillimbury.”
A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Beyond crafting exceptional ciders, Ernest Cider proudly holds the distinction of being the first B-Corp certified cider company in Canada. But what exactly does that mean? B-Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee. It signifies that Ernest Cider meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
This commitment to sustainability and social responsibility is deeply embedded in their ethos. When you enjoy an Ernest Cider creation, you’re not only savouring a delicious libation but also supporting a cider maker that prioritizes ethical and environmental practices. It’s a win-win for cider enthusiasts and the planet alike.
